Sound is literally the vibration of air molecules caused by a catalist that results in the vibration getting detected by the receivers of your inner-ear...which translates into a "sound" when detected by the nerves that run between your ear canal and your brain.

Sound is nothing but a mechanical wave that travels in any material medium. Sound is created by compressions and rarefactions.

These vibrations can only travel where air is present.

It's unseen energy. Movement is energy and can be seen. Sound is still energy, yet is unseen. There are more scientific answers to your question...but in my simplistic, unscientific realm...that's my answer. Everything is energy, it simply takes place in different forms.
