In plasmas, ion acoustic waves are frequently referred to as acoustic waves or even just sound waves.  They commonly govern the evolution of mass density, for instance due to [[pressure gradient]]s, on time scales longer than the frequency corresponding to the relevant length scale.  Ion acoustic waves can occur in an unmagnetized  plasma or in a magnetized plasma parallel to the [[magnetic field]].
