Question

How is sound produced and how is it transmitted and heard by us?

Short Answer

Solution

Sound is produced when any object starts vibrating by any means.

These vibrations travel from the source all around the environment through the particles of the environment; thus, it reaches its destination, i.e., our ear.

Now, it enters our ear and travels down a canal, at the end of which a thin membrane is stretched tightly, known as the eardrum. The eardrum sends vibrations to the inner part of the ear and finally reaches the brain and we hear the sounds.
