Sounds are very ofen a continous wave (cw) which is modulated by a frequency or by amplitude, E.g. 1 kHz is modulated by 10 Hz, A good example is the human voice. Now, I will give you an idea about the wide number of modulations. I recorded the sound of knixing scissors, held close to a microphone: ´siks-six-knix-six-ix...etc. After recording, the signal is amplificated and edited in some eight steps and various modulation steps have changed the tiny six-icks-tix to the sound of a nature catastrophy. Is that possible? Yes, listen to my posting
