When an object vibrates, it causes movement in surrounding air molecules. These molecules bump into the molecules close to them, causing them to vibrate as well. This makes them bump into more nearby air molecules. This “chain reaction” movement, called sound waves, keeps going until the molecules run out of energy.

Musical instruments create sounds by making something vibrate. For example, guitars make sound when their strings vibrate. Most instruments are “tuned” to make a range of sounds of particular frequencies, which we call notes. These notes are made in a particular sequence to play a piece of music.
