Sound waves propagate as a longitudinal waves. Any wave has some frequency and some wavelength. More the frequency more energy it possesses and hence its intensity increases so when such a wave hits something you can sometimes see the object vibrating. Also sound waves do not travel in space.

Does sound vibrate?
Yes, sound is a vibration
When objects vibrate they create?
When objects vibrate they create sound because sound is just the vibrations of objects
Why does sound travel better through solid not gas?
Sound is the effect of disturbances of molecules. Imagine a chain reaction similar to Newton's balls - one molecule hits the next, which hits the next, etc. Sound is the same way - molecules vibrate, causing molecules near them to vibrate. Thus, the closer the molecules are to one another, the faster they will transfer the sound energy, and the faster the sound will travel. The general rule is: more dense = faster sound.
How does gitar produce sound?
The player makes the strings vibrate, which makes the body of the guitar vibrate, which makes the air vibrate. And vibrations in the air, at a certain set of frequencies, is what sound is.

Discuss what sound is?
Sound is something you hear. It is a vibration which travels in waves and then hits your eardrum to make it vibrate, that's how you hear it. It is the second fastest thing, first is light.
Do earthquake make sounds?
Yes, they do. They make a rumbling sound as they vibrate.
How does foam turn sound into heat?
Sound is a vibration travelling through the air. When it hits foam, it causes the foam to vibrate, which in turn causes friction. The friction causes heat.
How fast sound waves vibrate?
They vibrate over a wide range of rates. The faster the vibrations, the higher the pitch of the sound.
