Sound is produced by vibrating objects, and it travels through various mediums such as gases, liquids, and solids. The process of hearing involves the eardrum sensing vibrations, which are then communicated to the brain. Loudness and pitch are determined by the amplitude and frequency of the sound respectively, with excess noise contributing to pollution and potential health issues.

Sound is produced by vibrating objects.
In human beings, the vibration of the vocal cords produces sound.
Sound travels through a medium (gas, liquid or solid). It cannot travel in vacuum.
The eardrum senses the vibrations of sound, sending signals to the brain.
The frequency of oscillation is expressed in hertz (Hz).
Larger amplitude means louder sound, whereas higher frequency results in higher pitch.
Unpleasant sounds are termed noise.
Noise pollution may pose health problems for human beings.
Measures should be taken to minimize noise pollution.
The to and fro motion of an object that produces sound.
A thin stretched membrane that vibrates when sound waves hit it, allowing us to hear.
The number of oscillations per second, expressed in hertz (Hz).
The maximum extent of a vibration, which determines the loudness of a sound.
Excessive or unwanted sounds in the environment that may cause health issues.
