    It’s not that hard to grasp I don’t think. If you understand graphs of soundwaves, it’s literally just the wave scratched into the plastic. The movement of the needle dictates the movement of the speaker membrane which results in the same movement in your eardrum. Which is what you percieve as sound.

      That explains just a tiny part. There are so many different sounds at the same volume and frequency

        All the sounds get mixed together as they approach you (as they compress the same air), by the time it gets to your ear it can be represented by one complex wave.
