Eli5: In a waveform like sine waves or sound waves, what actually causes the wave to crest and trough?

505 views

What is the force that is actually pulling the wave down/pushing it up? I can find information talks about the medium used to create the wave can determine its frequency but not what is actually causing that pattern in particular as opposed to a straight line or even a loop d loop.
