No, granules do not directly produce molecules that cause sound waves. Sound waves are generated by the vibrations or oscillations of objects or substances in a medium, typically through the displacement of molecules.

Granules, which are small particles or grains, do not themselves generate sound waves. However, when a sound wave passes through a granular medium, such as sand, gravel, or any other collection of particles, it can interact with the granules and cause them to vibrate or move. These vibrations or movements of the granules can, in turn, affect the propagation of the sound wave.

In general, sound waves are produced by various sources such as vibrating objects, mechanical disturbances, or the rapid compression and expansion of a medium, such as air molecules. These sources create pressure waves that propagate through the medium, leading to the perception of sound.

So, while granules may interact with sound waves and influence their behavior when they are present in a medium, they do not themselves produce the molecules responsible for sound waves.
