How does the ear hear sound through a wall?

In: Biology [Edit categories]

Answer:

your ear hears sounds through a wall because of basic physics. when a noise is made, the air particles move. the particles then transfer the engery they received onto another particle. this process continues till you can hear the sound (till the particles reach your ear) you can hear though a wall because the particles in the wall absorb the motion and transfer that motion onto other particles passing the sound through.
