Compression waves (as opposed to transverse waves).
Sound is transmitted from a source to the surrounding air particles, which vibrate or collide and pass the sound energy along to our ears. Without any particles to vibrate we wouldn't hear the sound.
Sound travels in solids through a series of compressions and rarefactions of the particles in the material. When a sound wave is initiated, it causes the particles in the solid to vibrate, passing the sound energy along the material. The speed of sound in solids is higher than in air due to the particles being closer together.
Longitudinal wave.
There are lots of things they don't transfer.
The maximum distance that particles along a wave vibrate from their rest position is known as the amplitude of the wave. It represents the maximum displacement of a particle from its equilibrium position as the wave passes through.

The energy is not made of particles in the conventional sense. Particles of matter vibrate backwards and forwards along the direction of motion when a longitudinal wave travels. The particles possess kinetic energy.

Sound travels in solids through a series of compressions and rarefactions of the particles in the material. When a sound wave is initiated, it causes the particles in the solid to vibrate, passing the sound energy along the material. The speed of sound in solids is higher than in air due to the particles being closer together.
Sound waves can travel through solids by causing particles to vibrate and pass energy along. This transmission is more efficient in solids than in liquids or gases because the particles in solids are closely packed.
