Alexander Graham Bell was the first to create a telephone in 1875, or method to reproduce sound, although there were other contemporaries that were working on similar methods.
See the Wikipedia article:

Certainly people had been making Musical Instruments for thousands or millions of years, and had some idea of vibrations and sound.
Anybody know who first characterized sound as a wave?
Oh, was reading about Doppler. He discovered the Doppler effect in 1842. Prior to Alexander Bell's telephone. This would be an early effort to evaluate the wave effect of sounds.
I'm also seeing notes that the Phonautograph was was invented by the Frenchman Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville and patented in 1857. It was able to "record" sounds, but without playback. I assume in part it was used to look at sound waves. Record players and phonographs came in 1877 invented by Thomas Edison.
Sound energy is produced by vibrating objects, which convert mechanical energy into sound waves. The sound waves travel through a medium, such as air or water, to reach our ears and be perceived as sound.
1. sound energy incident on a panel causes the panel to vibrate (especially at resonant and coincident frequencies). sound energy -> mechanical energy 2. sound energy passing through an absorber will dissipate as heat. sound energy -> thermal energy
Energy is essential for sound production and propagation. When an object vibrates, it creates sound waves which carry energy. The amplitude of the sound wave corresponds to the energy of the vibrations produced by the object. The energy of sound waves determines their loudness and intensity.
When a sound wave is absorbed, its sound energy is typically converted into low-level heat energy.
How does sound energy travel through different mediums? Can sound energy be harnessed to produce electricity? What are some examples of everyday objects that convert sound energy into mechanical energy? How does the frequency of sound waves affect their energy?
raze Galileo that live in the 20th century joke.........
peru was discoverd around the turn of the 16th century
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.
Yes, sound energy is kinetic energy.
no
