When something vibrates, it pushes particles. These pushed particles create a longitudinal wave. If the longitudinal wave has the right frequency and enough energy, your ear drum antennas will pick it up and your brain will turn the energy into what we call sound. The higher the amplitude, the more energy the wave has. Intensity of a measure of a wave’s power per unit area, and is measured in Watts per square meter.
