Sound travels faster through solids. It does this because sound is generated mainly due to the mediums molecule vibration in a pattern.
In solids, the molecules are more closely packed when compared to gases. Hence, the vibration occurs faster and hence the sound is tramsmitted sooner

Does sound travel faster or slower through a solid than through air?
sound travels faster through a solid than through air
Do sound waves travel faster threw liquid or solid?
They travel faster through solids
Through which material does sound travel faster?
Sound travels faster through solid materials. The 2nd fastest is liquids.
Does sound travel faster through a solid block of metal or through air?
Sound travels faster through air. Though sound travels farther through solid objects (vibrations), it is faster when traveling through air waves.
Does sound travel faster through a solid liquid gas?
The higher the density, the faster the sound. Solids, then liquids, then gasses.
Does sound travel faster through a solid or water?
sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles
Does sound travel faster or slower through a solid than through air?
sound travels faster through a solid than through air
Does sound travel faster through a solid luquid or gas?
Solid

Does sound travel faster through a solid than a gas?
yes
What specific solid does sound travel through the fastest?
The denser the faster. ie: it will travel faster through quartz than sandstone.
What does sound go faster through a vacuum or a solid?
Sound does not travel in a vacuum. It needs a medium in which to travel (unlike light) and so sound cannot travel in a vacuum. However, in a solid sound travels faster than in air.
Does sound travel faster through a solid liquid gas?
The higher the density, the faster the sound. Solids, then liquids, then gasses.
Does sound travel faster through through a solid or gas?
Sound travels faster through some solid because, in general, the particles are packed more closely together. This transfers the sound wave faster. Other solids do not transmit sound well at all.
Does sound travel faster throgh solid than air?
It travels faster through a solid then air for some odd reason............
