Sound is usually an acoustical wave in air. When this is converted e.g. by a microphone to an electrical voltage that can be sent through a wire. An amplifier and a loudspeaker can convert this audio signal back to an acoustical wave, you can listen to.

Sound is converted to electrical signals transmitted down the wire. The conversion of sound waves to electrical signals may be based on analogue or digital techniques.

Can sound travel through copper or metallic wires?

Best way is to first turn sound in to electrical energy and transmit. (Using a transducer-- device that receives a signal in the form of one type of energy and converts it to a signal in another form: A microphone is a transducer that converts acoustic energy into electrical impulses.)Sounds waves can be placed on the wire directly. String a wire tightly between two poles. Strike one end (or pluck it) and the sound will travel down the wire tot he other end. Note that the signal will not travel nearly as far as an electical impule due to the amount of energy necesssary to move the wire.
