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 matter that transports the sound is called the medium. The speed of sound is how fast the wave or vibrations pass through the medium or matter. The type of matter has a large impact on the speed at which the sound will travel. For example, sound travels faster in water than air. Sound travels even faster in steel. In dry air, sound travels at 343 meters per second (768 mph). At this rate sound will travel one mile in around five seconds. Sound travels 4 times faster in water (1,482 meters per second) and around 13 times faster through steel (4,512 meters per second).
