Sound is a example of longitudinal wave in which the particles of the medium moves in the direction of propagation of wave.

Sound waves are longitudinal because,
1.They do require material medium to be transmitted.
2.They are formed as a result of vibration of an object that sets the air particles in a series of alternating crests and troughs.

Sound waves in air:
A single-frequency sound wave traveling through air will cause a sinusoidal pressure variation in the air. The air motion which accompanies the passage of the sound wave will be back and forth in the direction of the propagation of the sound, a characteristic of longitudinal waves.

Soundwave is longitudinal because the force between molecules of air is small.

Sound wave is longitudinal. That is the fact.

Sound is an example of longitudinal wave since the travel of direction of the wave is the same to the direction of vibration of the medium.

Sound waves exist as variations of pressure in a medium such as air. They are created by the vibration of an object, which causes the air surrounding it to vibrate. The vibrating air then causes the human eardrum to vibrate, which the brain interprets as sound.
