Sound waves produced by a vibrating object are .

1) Sound waves produced by a vibrating object are compressional waves. The reason being that the matter in the medium moves back and forth in the same direction that it travels. 2) Loudness is the human perception of sound wave intensity. 3) The process of detecting objects by bouncing sounds off them is called echolocation. It is also called bio sonar and animals like bats use it to detect objects near them.

I hope it helps, Regards.
