Sound is created when things vibrate. These vibrations travel through the air to our ears, which then send signals to our brain, allowing us to hear. Different vibrations create different sounds. For example, a drum vibrates when you hit it, making a loud booming sound, while a guitar string vibrates when you pluck it, making a musical note. Understanding how vibrations create sound helps us understand the world around us!
