Sound is a mechanical wave that is an oscillation of pressure transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas, composed of frequencies within the range of hearing.Sound also travels through plasma.Sound is a sequence of waves of pressure that propagates through compressible media such as air or water. Sound can propagate through solids as well, but there are additional modes of propagation.
