Fooling peoples)) True Airbenders would just make FUN of it

well, whats the real advantage of sound? What sloth said would be one probable way to bring sound to a use. Others could be: - creating frequencies that shatter crystal or rock, - disorienting opponents, - causing nausea via effecting the inner ear, - limited communication with some animals (no further use for the bison-pipe for example). I'm sure there are other possibilities to use "sound", but i think the presented ones are already pretty advantageous.

I think that most likely it is being able to fly and reach higher altidtudes but I could be wrong. There is a possibility that Aang will learn it from a scroll in the western air temple in the hidden chamber because Aang only mastered 35 out of 36 skill levels of Airbending. The Firebenders couldn't possibly access a chamber only reachable by airbending and they left the other doors intact.

there is no sub bending of air yet but I do think it is weird. Maybe we will find out at the western air temple!!!

Sound is pretty sick. A large enough concussive sound force could obliterate shit. All you gotta do is super-compress the air to make a dense wall of air.

clouds and tordados are all good, but if u think about it that is only manipulating water and air at the same time. i like the idea of soundwaves. sound needs a medium to travel, and that is mostly air.

Soundwaves are good, but remember, it hasn't been made yet so Aang would have to find a way to bend sound... How do you think he is going to do that?

Sound is a good one indeed, Want to see it. Maby he'll found at the western air temple some air-benders who can teach him bending sound?

Doesn't sound vibrate and travel faster in water and earth then in air if my textbooks are correct, which would be slightly unlikely for sound as air isn't a good medium for it

Humans are living in an atmosphere, and in an atmosphere sound is carried by fronts of compressed air, actually sound IS fronts of compressed air, so it keeps reasonable for an airbender to develope soundbending as a subtype. If Katara would dive though, she should theoretically also be able to "soundbend". Toph pretty much uses the sound/vibration carrying properties of earth and rock already through her bending, in order to "see".

Sound isn't "fronts of compressed air" It's just waves, and they'll travel in any medium)

the fighting style airbending comes from is all about avoiding and striking at right time, but mostly avoiding, thats why airbenders are nomads, they avoid violence, the sub-bending could go along with that, but on the other hand blood bending isn't really using the fighting style waterbending comes from, so it could be weather, and sound well we have seen aang bend TONS of air at a time, like when the volcano erupted in The Fourtune Teller he cooled the magma in a second, im goin with WEATHER as the sub-bending

Sound isn't "fronts of compressed air" It's just waves, and they'll travel in any medium) 1. If you read my post again, you'd notice that i already agreed on the fact that sound can travel through various mediums. 2. I narrowed my explanation down to the medium of air, because it's the one most important for humans when it comes to hearing. 3. I just wanted to explain it as simple as possible, but if you insist on a more scientific approach, be my guest: Sound is a vibrational transmission of mechanical energy that propagates through matter as a wave - through fluids and gases as a compression wave, and through solids as both compression and shear waves.For short: In an atmosphere sound is pretty much (wave-)fronts of compressed air!

there have been arguments like this before about the sub level of air bending, i thot of a few interesting ideas so im just gunna repost it here:::
another level of air bending can be thought of as wind friction. if we look at how space travel works, when a space craft returns to the earth's atmospher, friction with the atmospher, wind, and the outer silicon layer of the space craft, it glows bright bright red showing how intensely heated it becomes. if u think of earth, he can apply the same principles, perhaps by intensely increasing the wind friction with air bending on one object he can very quickly heat the object, then with air bending agen, or a mixture of water and air bending, he can quickly cool the object (perhaps earthen material), such a process causes a devastatingly explosive reaction. Thats prolly a bit out there, but the idea of wind friction is a possibility.
Some pretty sadistic ways of thinking of air bending is through the control of air pressure. If he can somehow control air pressure through bending, he can simulate conditions that can instantly kill a human being (for example: explode their heads, fluctuate air pressures to cause serious illnesses even death, constrain blood vessels since blood will be affected by shifting extreme air pressures..) the possibilities are terrifying. But as we've seen through blood-bending, anything is possible.

when air bending is at its best it's the strongest because it can be combined with the other 3 elements and become something FIERCE!!
