You know nature is analog while electronics systems accept only digital.
The systems need the A-D converter to deal with analog on digital system.
The sound is known as the wave which is the analog.
When the system computes the sound, the sound wave must pass through the filter.
Filter allows only the wave with the certain frequency passes through.
The BPF is the filter witch has the characteristics of both the LPF and the HPF.
There are several types of the BPF; negative feedback makes the circuit more stable.
As the example, one of the BPF is shown below.

You may check the behavior of this filter on the LTspice or the PSPICE. :)
