    This document discusses sound production and propagation. It explains that sound is produced by vibrating objects like guitar strings or drum membranes. Sound travels as a compression wave through a medium, transferring energy but not matter. The human ear can detect sounds between 20-20,000 Hz. Loudness depends on amplitude, while pitch depends on frequency. High amplitude and high frequency indicate a loud, high-pitched sound. Excessive noise can damage hearing and cause other issues. Reducing use of loud devices and planting trees can help lower noise pollution.
