Sound waves are described as pressure waves because waves produces pressure by which sound is produces
Sound waves are more precisely described as pressure waves, caused by an oscillating wave of pressure usually in air. Just like dropping a stone in a pond, the waves move out from the source, although usually in three dimensions. The sound is perceived by humans as the pressure waves hit the eardrum and are transmitted into the inner ear where small hair-like structures are activated and in turn activate nerves that transmit the information to the brain where it is interpreted as sound.
Sound is produced by objects that vibrate, creating pressure waves in the air. These pressure waves are then detected by our ears as sound.
The sound of sea waves is commonly referred to as the "lull" or "roar" of the waves. The soothing and rhythmic sound of waves crashing against the shore is often described as calming and peaceful.
Acoustics is the study of sound and sound waves, including their production, transmission, and effects. It explores how sound interacts with its environment and how it can be measured and manipulated.
Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium to travel through, such as air, water, or solids. They are created by the vibration of particles in the medium and carry energy from one place to another. Sound waves can be described in terms of their frequency, amplitude, wavelength, and speed of propagation.

Sound is produced by objects that vibrate, creating pressure waves in the air. These pressure waves are then detected by our ears as sound.
Because it is pressure that actually propagates through the medium. When air is the medium, air molecules are displaced outward and then back, in unison with the sound generating object. This 'wave' of pressure, much like a ripple on water, moves through the air outward from the source.
Yes, sound waves are pressure waves that travel through matter.
For a sound wave traveling through air, the vibrations of the particles are best described as longitudinal.
