Yes. This is because air is less dense than solid materials therefore there is less resistance on the sound wave.

Does sound travel through solids or gases faster?
Sound travels faster through solids because, molecules in solids are much closer together so this allows sound waves to travel faster.
Do sounds travel faster throw liquid?
no sound travels faster through solids.
Does sound travel slower through air solids or liquids?
Sounds travels slowest in air and fastest in solids. Generally, sound travels faster through materials of higher densities.
Does the sound travel through a soild?
Yes, sound actually travels faster through solids then liquids or gases.
Can a sound be faster than a other sound?
yes, sound travels faster in liquids and solids than in gases e.g. faster in water than through air. The denser the solid, the faster the sound travels.
Which medium does sound travel fastest in?
Sound travels faster in solids than it does in liquids. thus, sound travels faster in liquids than it does in solids
What waves travel faster through liquids and solids?
Sound waves, being longitudinal in nature, travels faster in liquids and solids.
Which type of wave travels faster through solids then through gasses?
Sound waves (pressure waves).
Does sound travel faster through water than air?
yeah sound travels fastest through solids , than that through liquids and slowest in air and does not travel through Vaccum
Why does sound travel slower through liquids?
It doesn't, sound travels slowest in air then faster in liquids then solids. Sound traveling through steel in many times faster then through air, for example. Sound travels through vibrations, and the vibrations pass through molecules until they reach your ear. If the molecules are far away it takes longer to pass the vibrations, but if they are closer together they will travel faster. Because the molecules are packed closer together in a liquid the sound travels faster through it, and even faster through solids.
Does sound travel fastest in metal?
sound travels faster in solids. sound travels faster in metals like steel
Why does sound travel faster in a soild?
Sound travels through solids faster than other states of matter because most solids are denser than liquids. Sound waves travel faster through denser media than through less dense media. and the solids have high elasticity.. sound travel faster in elastic bodies
