In humans, the sound is produced by the box, which is called voice box or the larynx. Larynx is a part of the throat. It is responsible for production of sound. It has two vocal cord which are stretched across the voice box or larynx in such a way that it leaves a narrow slit between them for the air. When the lungs force the air through the slit, the vocal cords vibrate, producing sound.

Sound is produced when any object starts vibrating by any means. these vibrations travel from the source all round the environment through the particles of the environment yjus, it reaches to its destinations, i.e our ear. Now, it enters our ear and travels down a canal at the end of which a thin membrane is strached tightly known as eardrum. the eardrum sends vibrations to inner part of the ear and finally reaches to thr brain and we hear the sounds.

The bell jar experiment is a common experiment to show that sound cannot travel through a vacuum.
A bell jar’s shape is similar to that of a bell. A bell jar is placed on a base and connected to a vacuum pump as shown in the picture below. The air in the jar is varied by pumping the air out of it.

Now, we put an electrical bell in the bell jar. As the air is pumped, vacuum is being created inside the jar slowly and steadily and the sound from the bell jar fades. At a point when complete vacuum is maintained, no more sound is heard from the bell. Thus, the sound is not audible to our ears because of the vacuum inside the jar.
