How does sound travel from one place to another?

Sound travels through a medium, such as air, water, or a solid material, in the form of waves. When an object vibrates, it creates sound waves that travel outward in all directions. These waves cause particles in the medium to vibrate, transmitting the sound energy from one place to another. The speed at which sound travels depends on the medium through which it is traveling, with sound traveling faster through denser materials.
