Although sound does travel faster through solid media than gaseous, many walls are filled with materials or structures designed to absorb sound energy instead of transmitting it. In addition to this, sound gives up some energy as heat whenever it travels from one medium to another, so going from the air to the wall's surface to the inside of the wall to the wall's other surface to the air on the other side does a great deal to dampen the sound. The combination of these effects is often enough to lower the intensity of the sound past the threshold for human hearing.
No - it's a minimum. Zero in fact. Sound can not travel in a vacuum.

Velocity of sound in Acetone is about 1174 m/s
the velocity of sound in the air is 300m/s
the velocity of sound in the air is 300m/s
Velocity of Sound was created on 2002-10-08.
Write an experiment to find the velocity of sound?
as density of medium increase velocity of sound decreases.
Sound travels fastest through solids. This is because molecules in a solid medium are much closer together than those in a liquid or gas, allowing sound waves to travel more quickly through it. In fact, sound waves travel over 17 times faster through steel than through air. In diamond the speed of sound is fastest. It is c = 12000 m/s.
There is no theroetical maximum sound. It can always get louder
Sound velocity is greatest in solids, and the solid with the highest velocity of sound is metallic Beryllium.
