Because it’s strong enough.

Think of a wave of water on a beach. Every wave represents a sound wave. Every wave can change something on the beach. And if it’s just a grain of sand.

If it can tear down a sand castle, it is a strong wave, right? With much force. Either a lot of water is moved or a little water with enough speed. It could be compared to a shockwave.
