Sound waves and solids. 

When a sound wave passes through a solid such as glass, it will cause vibrations within the solid. The solid particles that receive the sound wave will vibrate at the same frequency as the sound wave. 

Sound travels faster in solids compared to liquids and gases because the particles in solids are more tightly packed, allowing the vibrations to transfer more efficiently.

When sound waves pass through a solid, they can cause the particles to vibrate. This is how we hear sounds through walls or why putting your ear against a railroad track lets you hear an approaching train before you hear it through the air.
