Sound Energy What is sound? Sound is A form of energy made by vibrations. When an object vibrates it causes the air particles around it to move.  These particles bump into particles close to them and this continues until they run out of energy. Try this: Put your finger on your neck and say “aah” as loud as you can. Now say it as soft as you can. You can not only hear the sound, but you can feel the vibration inside your throat. How does sound travel? Sound travels through all forms of matter— gases, liquids and solid. These are called the medium. Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.
