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.
The actual speed of sound varies depending on the altitude above sea level because sound travels at slightly different speeds at different temperatures and the temperature varies according to altitude. At sea level, the speed of sound is about 761 miles per hour (1,225 kilometers per hour). At 20,000 feet (6,096 meters), the speed of sound is 660 miles per hour (1,062 kilometers per hour). The speed of sound is commonly refered to as Mach 1, named after the 19th century Austrian physicist Ernst Mach [for biographical details click here].
