Sound is a vibration that spreads across a medium (i.e.‚ air or water) as a mechanical longitudinal wave formed by pressure. A Mechanical longitudinal wave can also be called compression wave as it generates compressions and rarefaction when traveling through a medium. (Sound Is a Pressure Wave - Physics Classroom) The amplitude of a sound wave is the difference between the pressure of the undisturbed air and the maximum pressure caused by the wave. The Speed of sound deviates with the temperature
