Sound traveling through air.
Sound in air is a longitudinal wave (particles oscillate back and forth parallel to the direction of wave travel, producing compressions and rarefactions). Light and other electromagnetic waves are transverse; water surface waves are surface (orbital) waves, not pure longitudinal.
