Hey Kiran,
Sound is a disturbance of mechanical energy that propagates through matter as a wave. Sound is characterized by the properties of sound waves, which are frequency, wavelength, period, amplitude and velocity or speed.
Sound is vibrations. If you cannot hear, you can live. Hearing being one of our 5 senses, I suspect if you were deaf during our evolution as humans, you would have been eaten or killed by a sneaky animal.
Now, we have a more nurturing / caring / accepting society, and hearing is not absolutely necessary, to our life. If we all lost our hearing, I think things would change drastically. Hard to say.

You should ask a deaf person. Many people live without benefit of sound, just as they do without sight. It's not a pleasant condition, and not one that any of us choose, but it's a fact of life.
For us who have been blessed with those capabilities, to not have any sound would indeed take away a lot of the beauty of life, such as music, the sound of a waterfall, voices - just any sound that right now we all take for granted.

Sound is important to our life. Even the deaf make allowances for it. They use lights in place of sound makers such as alarm clocks and door bells. If a person is also blind then vibrators are used.
