    Sound is created by vibrations traveling through a medium like air, liquid, or solid and entering the ear. Vibrations cause the molecules in the medium to move back and forth, transferring the sound in waves. The louder a sound, the stronger the vibrations. Pitch depends on the speed of the vibrations, with higher pitches associated with faster vibrations and lower pitches with slower vibrations. Sound travels fastest through solids since molecules are closest together, and faster through liquids than air.

    Sound is created when something vibrates and sound waves of energy (Vibration)

    into our ears. The stronger the vibrations, the louder the sound. Sound are fainter
    the further you get from the sound source.

    Vibration is a movement when object make sound move back and forth. Without
    vibration, sound will not be produced.

    The vibrations travel through another medium (Solid, Liquid,or Air) to the ear.

    SOLID
    Sounds travels fastest through solids. This is because molecules in a solid medium
    are much closer together than those in a liquid or gas.
    Sound cant travel through empty space where there are no molecules to
    vibrate.

    LIQUID
    Sound travels faster in liquids.

    AIR
    The sounds travels through the air, through the oscillation of compression and
    rarefaction of air molecules.

    Sound changes depending on how fast or slow an object vibrates to make sound
    waves. Pitch is the quality of the sound (High or Low) and depends on the speed of
    the vibrations.
