Sound or acoustic energy was a form of energy which propagates through matter and is received by a being or device capable of interpreting it. Its intensity can be measured in decibels, while the pitch of sound is measured in hertz. (citation needededit) Most, if not all, species known to the United Federation of Planets were naturally capable of perceiving sound through a sense called hearing.
