Definitions and quotes

Sound
In physics, sound is a vibration that typically propagates as an audible wave of pressure, through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid.
Sound
A thousand trills and quivering sounds
In airy circles o'er us fly,
Till, wafted by a gentle breeze,
They faint and languish by degrees,
And at a distance die.
Joseph Addison, An Ode for St. Cecilia's Day, VI.
Sound
My eyes are dim with childish tears,
My heart is idly stirred,
For the same sound is in my ears
Which in those days I heard.
William Wordsworth, The Fountain.
Sound
Their rising all at once was as the sound
Of thunder heard remote.
John Milton, Paradise Lost (1667; 1674), Book II, line 476.
