The outer ear works as a reverse megaphone, which collects the sounds that we hear and brings them into the inner part of the ear. Ears are located on either side of the head ...

Sound

In physics, sound is a vibration that propagates as a typically audible mechanical wave of pressure and displacement, through a medium such as air or water. In physiology and psychology, sound is the reception of such waves and their perception by the brain.
