First sentence: The sounds responsible for hearing consist of rapid changes in air pressure that can be produced in a variety of ways - for example, by vibrations of objects such as the tines of a tuning fork or the wings of an insect, by puffs of air released by a siren or our vocal cords, and by the noisy turbulence of air escaping from a small opening.
