Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Sound is produced by the vibrations of the particles of matter. These particles vibrate in the direction of the propagation of waves. This wave propagates in the form of compression and rarefactions. When an object vibrates, its particles transfer the energy to the neighbour particles without moving from its position. Similarly, neighbour particles transfer this energy to their neighbour particles. This process goes on, and vibrating energy converts to sound energy.
