Sound

In physics, sound is a vibration that typically propagates as an audible wave of pressure, through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid.

Sound

Their rising all at once was as the sound
Of thunder heard remote.

John Milton, Paradise Lost (1667; 1674), Book II, line 476.

Sound

If a tree falls in a forest, and no-one is around to hear it, does it make a noise?

Source unknown, but apparently originating in the twentieth century; a 1910 physics book asks "When a tree falls in a lonely forest, and no animal is near by to hear it, does it make a sound? Why?" Charles Riborg Mann, George Ransom Twiss, Physics (1910), p. 235. See also: If a tree falls in a forest.

Sound

What's the business,
That such a hideous trumpet calls to parley
The sleepers of the house? Speak, speak!

William Shakespeare, Macbeth (1605), Act II, scene 3, line 86.
