What is Sound Listen to the sounds you hear while riding your bicycle to the park Your bicycle chain clinks as it turns Cars honk and tires screech on the street In the park birds sing and chipmunks chirp The wind blows and leaves rustle A friend shouts your name Your brakes squeak as you squeeze them to stop Your bicycle lock clicks in place Every day you are surrounded by sounds We cannot see sound But sounds impact us every day We learn about our surroundings by listening to sounds 4
