Report Abuse. sound travels fastest in solid substances. as in solids, the medium is denser and it aids the propogation of sound. sound will not travel in vaccum as they will not propogate if no material medium is present. in air it travels with the speed of 350 m/s which is less than the speed of sound in solids.
For example, (as noted above), sound travels at 343 m/s in air; it travels at 1,484 m/s in water (4.3 times as fast as in air); and at 5,120 m/s in iron. In an exceptionally stiff material such as diamond, sound travels at 12,000 m/s; which is around the maximum speed that sound will travel under normal conditions.
