Jorden Washington · Answer 1

Sound must have a means by which it can be transported, for example air. That is why there is no sound in space.

The way our brain perceives sound is through the ears. The tympanum that the human being has is connected to three bones and when the air vibrates, the tympanum also vibrates, causing these vibrations to pass through those bones towards the inner part of the ears and from there to our brain.

That is the way the brain perceives sound.

begin with vibrations of the eardrum. Sound waves cause the eardrum to vibrate. Cells in the cochlea detect the vibrations and send a message to the brain.
