If the objects vibrate in a gaseous medium , it creates pressure fluctuations near by region and this pressure fluctuation propagates in the gaseous medium .

If the objects vibrate in a liquid medium , energy is transfered to nearby liquid molecules and  vibrate. These vibration propagates in liquid medium .

Similar things happens in solid medium also .

These propagation of  vibration is in the form of waves , hence these waves are called as mechanical waves or sound waves.
