All waves whether it is sound, light or water, all act the same way. In modern times the frequency and path can be measured very accurately with sensitive microphones or equipment. By placing it in certain areas showing that the sound waves have the same motion as say for instance water waves.
Lions roar at a very low frequency, this helps the sound move over long distances with the lower frequency and longer and higher waves, moving over objects like trees and rocks.
Or simply look at how a speaker generates sound, by forming these very waves by moving backwards and forwards at the same frequency as the sound's being made.
Hope this helps...
A sound wave is logitudinal because the motion of the medium (air) travels in the same direction as the wave (back and forth).
They rapidly compress and rarefy in the direction of the sound wave as the wave travels.
The sound coming from the bell, and the vibration of the bell itself, is described as simple harmonic motion. The graph would be a diminishing sine wave.
a transverse wave
The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.

Propagation.
In a sound wave, air particles vibrate back and forth in the same direction that the sound wave is traveling. This vibration creates a series of compressions and rarefactions in the air, allowing the sound wave to propagate through the medium in a longitudinal wave motion.
Pitch is not affected by the relative motion of an object. The pitch of a sound is determined by the frequency of the sound wave, which remains constant regardless of the object's motion.
The Doppler effect is the change in frequency or wavelength of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the wave source. It causes the perceived pitch of a sound to change based on the relative motion between the source of the sound waves and the listener.
Sound is a wave. When an object vibrates, it causes the surrounding medium to vibrate as well, transmitting energy through a series of compressions and rarefactions. This wave motion carries the sound waves through the air until they reach our ears, where they are interpreted as sound.
Longitudinal waves have a particle motion that is parallel to the wave motion. In these waves, particles oscillate back and forth in the same direction that the wave is traveling. Sound waves are a common example of longitudinal waves.
A wave is a back and fro motion of particles due to vibration or oscillation, example: The sound wave which is due to the vibration of the vocal cords.
amplitude Longitudinal waves occurs when the motion of the medium. This is parallel to the direction of the wave.
It is also known as a compression wave
A wave in a rope is a transverse wave because the motion of the particles is perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer. Sound waves, on the other hand, are longitudinal waves because particles move parallel to the direction of energy transfer.
