What is sound? Sound is a wave‚ a pattern—simple or complex‚ depending on the sound—of changing air pressure. Sound is produced by vibrations of objects. The vibrations push and pull on air molecules. The pushes cause a local compression of the air (increase in pressure)‚ and the pulls cause a local rarefaction of the air (decrease in pressure). Since the air molecules are already in constant motion‚ the compressions and rarefactions starting at the original source are rapidly transmitted through
