Sound waves

I left a glass of water on the counter today when my roommate started playing loud music. I saw the water "vibrate" as the waves of sound of the loud music traveled the air. I became mindful that this meant that sound waves travel not only through a medium such as air, but also through solids (the glass), and liquids (the water). The vibration of the water enabled me to visualize the waves in which sound travels.
