Sound is all about vibrations. While sound travels through air, it bumps into other nearby air molecules, and then those molecules bump into other ones and so forth. This causes a wave of vibrations that travel through the air into the eardrum

Answer: Sound is all about vibrations.

Explanation: The source of a sound vibrates, bumping into nearby air molecules which in turn bump into their neighbors, and so forth. This results in a wave of vibrations traveling through the air to the eardrum, which in turn also vibrates.
