Sound Energy

The video tutorial explains sound energy as the energy produced by vibrating objects. It provides examples of sound production, such as a guitar string or a baseball hit. Sound waves, which are compression waves, travel through air particles to reach our ears. The process of hearing involves the outer ear, eardrum, and brain. The video also discusses sound characteristics like loudness and pitch, and concludes by prompting viewers to consider how loud sounds can affect the ear drum.
