In a wave, energy is transferred through a medium but the particles of the medium do not travel with the wave itself. Each particle oscillates around its equilibrium position as the wave passes through, carrying the energy of the wave along without physically displacing the particles themselves.
A wave that can travel only through matter is termed mechanical wave.
A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave, can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space.
A sound wave is a longitudinal wave that can travel only through matter, such as air, water, or solids. This type of wave involves the vibration of particles in the medium parallel to the direction of the wave's propagation. Sound waves require a medium to propagate and cannot travel through a vacuum.
A wave of kinetic energy requires a medium to travel though.
An electromagnetic wave can travel through empty space or through matter. Examples include light, radio waves, and X-rays. These waves do not require a medium for propagation.

That would be sound.
Mechanical waves travel by pushing and pulling on the matter they travel through. Sound waves and seismic waves are examples of mechanical waves.
