Question

Its a known fact that energy cannot be destroyed,it can be converted into other forms,then what happens to the sound energy from the words we speak,good ,bad, whatever.

Does the sound perish out of its own or gets converted

Answer 1

Sound isn't energy. It is air waves created by our vocal chords. And the waves dissipate just like waves created by a small stone thrown into a pond.

Answer 2

sound waves

are simply the compression and rarification

of air

that are transmitted through air

(or other materials)

the simple answer

is that the energy of the air

is absorbed by objects it hits

you can see this for yourself

if you go into a carpeted room

the energy of the air waves are absorbed  by the carpet

if instead you go ito a highly polished

hard wood

foyer

with hard marble walls

the sound waves

bonce off the floors and wall for a while

until they are absorbed by soft obljects like your body
