SUMMARY
Sound waves are quantized in the form of phonons, which are bosons. In solid materials, these phonons represent the quantized modes of vibrations. In fluids, while phonons are not applicable, other excitations such as rotons exist. Additionally, the concept of 'second sound' is relevant in the context of quantum sound phenomena.
