They vibrate your eardrums at different frequencies and intensities to produce what you call sound. There's also an "unmeasurable" quality to the sound called timbre. (think of what makes violins sound different from trombones)
-------------------
There isn't really a "purpose" to sound waves; rather it's just a longitudinal wave that's a byproduct of something that creates sound, in other words something that disturbs the air. It's also why there's no sound in space.
What else can I help you with?
What is the function of the human ear?
The human ear is responsible for detecting and processing sound waves. It consists of three main parts: the outer ear, which collects sound waves; the middle ear, which amplifies and transmits sound waves; and the inner ear, which converts sound waves into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for interpretation.
What is the function of a mechanical wave driver in the context of sound production?
The function of a mechanical wave driver in sound production is to convert electrical signals into mechanical vibrations that create sound waves. This device is essential in producing sound in speakers and headphones by moving a diaphragm or other components to generate sound waves that we can hear.
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
Can sound waves be seen?
No, you cannot see sound waves. Sound waves move more quickly than we can process with our eyes. Technically, sound waves are invisible.
What is the function of the incus?
receives the sound waves by the malleus.
What is function of outer ear?
To increase the sound waves you receive!
What is the function is the pinna of the ear?
the pinna funnels sound waves.
What is the function of the human ear?
The human ear is responsible for detecting and processing sound waves.

What sound waves do?
Sound waves carry sound
Does sound produce waves?
Yes sound does produce waves. These special waves are called sound waves.
Sound waves are examples of what?
sound waves are a example of mechanical waves
Is a radio a sound energy?
A radio produces sound, and therefore sound energy. The radio waves, however, are electromagnetic energy, not sound. The function of a radio is to convert that electromagnetic energy into sound energy.
What type of waves are sound waves, and are they transverse waves?
Sound waves are longitudinal waves, not transverse waves.
What does sound travel on?
Waves; sound waves.
How do vibrations produce sound waves?
sound waves dont produce vibrations, vibrations are sound waves.
