Compressional and rarefaction
The amplitude of a sound wave determines the volume or loudness of the note. A higher amplitude wave produces a louder sound, while a lower amplitude wave produces a quieter sound.
When you clap your hands together, the rapid collision of your hands creates a compression wave in the air. This compression wave travels to your ears and is picked up by your eardrums, which vibrate in response to the sound wave, sending signals to your brain that are interpreted as the sound of a clap.
No, turning up the volume does not change the frequency of a sound wave. The frequency of a sound wave is determined by the rate of vibrations, while the volume is related to the amplitude of the wave, which increases the intensity of the sound.
A transverse sound wave moves up and down or side to side, while a longitudinal sound wave moves back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels.
well...the particles in the air start to go up and down so a sound wave starts to form,then that sound wave travels in to peoples ears etchope this answer was useful :)

the hands make a compression wave that travels through the air. Your ears pick up that compression wave and turns it into a neuron impulse that your brain registers as sound.

no, they move horizontally along the direction of the sound wave movement.
Sound waves are made up of longitudinal waves. This means that the particles of the medium in which the sound is moving vibrate parallel to the direction of the wave.
A transverse sound wave moves up and down or side to side, while a longitudinal sound wave moves back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels.
The frequency of a sound wave affects the pitch of the sound. If the frequency of a wave increases causing more waves for every second, the pitch will go up, and vice-versa.
The difference is that a low wave have long and smooth wave and a high wave has skinny and cramped togetther waves
Your ears don't pick up the sound, by the way. Well, you should know that sound is actually a wave that is vibrating. When sound is realeased, the wave travels until it halts. IF your in the distance of the waves aim, the wave will hit your ear drum. Then it vibrates into your ear, and your brain translates it for you. Then you hear sound.
longitudinal wave formed due to compressions and rarefractions of media through which sound is propogating
