Sound is a disturbance of mechanical energy that propagates through matter as a wave. Sound is characterized by the properties of waves, which are frequency, wavelength, period, amplitude, and speed. Humans perceive sound by the sense of hearing.Hearing is one of the traditional five senses, and refers to the ability to detect sound. In humans and other vertebrates, hearing is performed primarily by the auditory system: sound is detected by the ear and transduced into nerve impulses that are perceived by the brain.Like touch, audition requires sensitivity to the movement of molecules in the world outside the organism. Both hearing and touch are types of mechanosensation.Mechanism: Human hearing takes place by a complex mechanism involving the transformation of sound waves into nerve impulses. Nerve impulses are elaborated by the hearing cell.I am The Cell. ..
