When I block my ears tightly, I can still hear some sounds and it isn’t completely attenuated. Is that still because of air conduction or is it because of bone conduction?

You probably don’t seal it complitely. Also bone and other tissue conduct vibration enough to hear.
well it’s not quite possible to completely cover your ears with your hands, as sound can still travel through your hand to your ears, and earplugs still allow vibrations which is still sound as sound is vibrations. “Sound waves can travel through anything whether it is air, wood, metal, bone, horn or water.”
