Sound waves are wave of pressure. You hit something and the pressure of the motion created by this strike sends waves through the air that our ear drums process. There isn't actually some entity we know as "sound". Our eardrums are sensitive enough to feel, that's right; feel, these vibration frequencies (or wavelengths) and translate them into the electric impulses processed as specific "sounds". It's simple sensory stimulation. Have you ever felt your skin vibrate with a really loud and powerful sound? Same basic principle, except on a much more sensitive scale. Make sense?
