Abstract
Some solar flares are known to drive seismic waves into the sub-photospheres of the magnetic regions that host them. Sunquakes, which are identified as a wave-packet of ripples are observed on the solar surface emanating from a focal region, known as seismic source or sometimes as a transient. Not all seismic transients from flares generate sunquakes. How these are produced is still a puzzle. In this paper, I will give an overview of the observed properties of sunquakes and efforts to understanding physics underlying them, including numerical modelling of flare-driven oscillations.
