Answer:

False, I am pretty sure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. ... As a sound wave moves from the lips of a speaker to the ear of a listener, particles of air vibrate back and forth in the same direction and the opposite direction of energy transport.
