EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -A common example of kinetic energy to sound energy conversion is playing a piano. When a piano is being played, movement of our fingers generates kinetic energy that transfers to the piano. After that the hammer inside the piano strikes the strings (kinetic energy) and sound energy is produced.

Detailed explanation-2: -Musical instruments convert mechanical energy into sound. The bowing of a violin, plucking of a guitar, striking of a piano, bell, or drum, the air movement in a wind instrument are all mechanical energy which is converted into sound.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hitting a drum converts mechanical energy to sound energy. Rubbing your hands together converts mechanical energy to thermal energy. Turning on a light switch converts mechanical energy to electrical and radiant energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sound energy can be both: either kinetic energy or potential energy. An example might be that of a musical instrument. When the instrument is played, it generates sound waves, producing kinetic energy.
