Find out that sounds are made when things vibrate.
Explanation
Sound happens when something vibrates, which means it moves back and forth very quickly. When you pluck a guitar string, it vibrates and makes a sound. When you talk, parts inside your throat called vocal cords vibrate. You can feel vibrations by touching your throat while you hum. Everything that makes a sound is vibrating, even if you cannot always see it moving.
