Broadly speaking, radiation is anything that spreads outward from a central source. In physics, the definition of radiation is constrained to energy that has been emitted from a source, is being transferred through a media, or is propagating through space. This energy can take on the form of particles or waves. Therefore, technically, both sound waves and electromagnetic waves are radiation. However, in practical usage, you would only use the term radiation when referring to electromagnetic waves or radioactive processes. The term, "sound radiation," is rarely, if ever, used.
Sound waves aren't a form of electromagnetic radiation.
Sound is a sequence of waves of pressure that propagates through compressible media such as air or water. It is perceptible by humans as frequencies from about 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz.
As a mechanical wave it is an oscillation of pressure transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas.
Radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, visible light, ultraviolet waves, x rays, and gamma rays are all forms or electromagnetic radiation.
Sound waves are not a form of electromagnetic radiation. Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate, whereas electromagnetic radiation can travel through a vacuum.
No, sound waves are not forms of radiation. Radiation typically refers to the emission of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves or particles, while sound waves are mechanical waves that vibrate through a medium, such as air or water, to transmit energy.
Radiation waves, such as light waves, do not require a medium to propagate because they are electromagnetic waves. Unlike sound waves, which require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to travel through, electromagnetic waves can travel through the vacuum of space because they consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields.

No, electromagnetic waves are not a form of sound. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, travel through the vacuum of space and do not require a medium to propagate, while sound waves require a medium, such as air or water, to travel.

Radio waves are electromagnetic radiation.

Sound waves and electromagnetic waves are both forms of wave propagation that carry energy. Both types of waves can be characterized by properties such as wavelength, frequency, and amplitude. However, sound waves require a medium (such as air, water, or solid material) to travel through, while electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space.
Sound waves are not a form of radiation. Radio waves, microwaves, and gamma rays are all forms of electromagnetic radiation that can travel through space. Sound waves, on the other hand, require a medium (such as air, water, or solids) to propagate.
Electromagnetic waves are transferred by electromagnetic radiation.
Electromagnetic radiation is transferred by electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic radiation is a fundamental phenomenon of electromagnetism.
No. We observe the Doppler Effect in all forms of waves, including sound waves and all forms of electromagnetic radiation.
Radiation
For electromagnetic waves: thermal radiation and radio waves are pretty long. For sound waves: bass sound waves are pretty long, so is quiet. For water waves: the tides
