What does most of the sound you hear travel through?

Most of the sound you hear travels through air. Sound waves are vibrations that travel through the air and reach your ears, where they are processed by your brain as sound.


Why can you hear the whoosh sound when you open a can of vacuum peanuts?

When you open a can of vacuum-packed peanuts, the sudden release of pressure inside the can causes the surrounding air to rush in rapidly. This rapid influx of air creates the 'whoosh' sound that you hear as the can is opened.


Can you hear in a vacuum?

No, sound cannot travel through a vacuum because it requires a medium (such as air, water, or a solid material) to propagate. In the absence of a medium, there are no particles for the sound wave to travel through, so no one would be able to hear anything in a vacuum.


Why you can hear sounds better in air then you can underwater?

Sound moves faster and further in water than air, so it would seem like it must have something to do with the receiver. I'm guessing, but I'd guess it's because the eardrum evolved to hear sounds in air. Underwater you don't hear using the eardrum, you hear by way of bone conduction which apparently doesn't let you hear normal sounds as well as the air/eardrum method.


When you hear sounds do the molecules of air move from the place where the sound began all the way to your ears?

No, when you hear sounds, the vibrations from the source of the sound travel through the air as waves of pressure. These waves cause the molecules in the air to vibrate, but the molecules themselves do not travel from the source of the sound to your ears.

When you apply your brake you hear no air?

More info, please. Namely, are you talking about an air brake system? You should hear some air as you apply and release the brake, but you shouldn't hear a continuous air sound as the brake is applied - if so, you've probably got a compromised air line or a bad brake chamber.


Why don't you feel a push of air when you hear the sound?

When we hear sound we do not feel the pushing the air becasue the sound waves are in form of comprestional waves.

If there is not air in the room can people hear you talk?

Well only if you are a spirit or a ghost. In order for you to talk you have to breathe. And in order for you to breathe you have to have air. So, no if there is no air in the room people cannot hear a word you are saying.
