When sound is produced, it causes the particles of the solid material to vibrate with an energy. It causes the surrounding particles to vibrate as well, transferring the energy. That's the way sound energy is transferred through a solid.

∙ 14y agoTypically, solids are better conductors of sound than air, and sound moves much faster in them than in air. The speed of sound in normal air (68°F and 14.7 PSI) is 1125 ft/sec. In water is 4700 ft/sec. In aluminum, it is 16,000 ft/sec; in iron it is 16,830 ft/sec; in diamond it is 39,400 ft/sec. Source: http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/sound-speed-solids-d_713.html

HOW TO PASS THROUGH SOLIDS?
it is physically impossible to pass through a solid objectansw2. But heat may pas through a solid, as may sound waves.
Sound energy that passes through a solid is said to be reflected?
Sound energy that pass through a solid is said to be reflected because as sound waves pass from air to a solid, some of the energy is reflected back into the air. Some of the energy will be absorbed by the new medium.
Can sound travel through bricks?
Yes. Because sound is nothing but a mechanical wave. So it could pass through solid.
What medium can sound travel through?
Sound can be transmitted through all mediums (liquid, solid, gaseous) except vacuum.
Why does a sound travels in solid liduid and gas but not in vaccum?
Sound is a mechanical wave which needs badly a material medium. Hence through vacuum it cannot pass through

Can sound travel through oxygen?
Sound can travel through fire as it does not directly affect sound. Sound travels in waves which can pass through solid objects but this limits the distance they can go.
Why do sound travels through solid?
All that is required for sound to travel is the presence of atoms. One atom bumps into the next, transfers its kinetic energy, and thus the sound is transmitted. Solid matter is made up of atoms, ergo, sound can pass through it.
What medium can sound travel through?
Sound can be transmitted through all mediums (liquid, solid, gaseous) except vacuum.
Why does a sound travels in solid liduid and gas but not in vaccum?
Sound is a mechanical wave which needs badly a material medium. Hence through vacuum it cannot pass through
Is sound energy that passes through a solid said to be absorbed?
If it passes through (i.e. you can hear it on the other side of the solid) then it hasn't been absorbed, but merely transferred from the source to the solid and back into the air. If the sound cannot be heard from the other side of the solid (i.e. it does not pass through) then it is said to have been absorbed.
What causes sound not to pass through milk?
It does; sound will be transmitted through any medium, be it solid, liquid or gas. The sound might be attenuated through long distances, but we don't generally have large volumes of milk in which to test.
How fast does a sound wave travel through a solid?
The speed of sound through a solid depends upon the density of that solid. The denser the solid, the quicker sound travels.
What state of matter does sound energy pass through?
Sound can pass through any state of matter.
What medium can a sound wave pass through?
Essentially any matter ( Solid, liquid or gas ) But not in a vacuum (ie in space)
