No. It's the other way around ... sound is much slower.
The numbers for each are thus:
* Speed of Sound: 340.29 m/s * Speed of Light: 299,792,458 m/s Yup - light is faster ... much faster. You've never heard in the comic books "faster than the speed of light"??????

Does light or sound travel slower?
Sound, in normal air. First lightning then thunder!
What way dose sound travel?
Through invisible waves, which travel slightly slower than light waves. :3
Why do light waves have a far shorter wavelength than sound waves?
sound waves travel faster slower than light waves In air, sound travels around 300m/s.
What objects are difficult for sound to travel through?
sound travels the fastest in solids and slower in liquids and even slower in gases and cannot travel in vacuum..so its most difficult for the sound to travel in gases
Why do you think sound usually travel fastest through solids but light usually travel slowest through solids?
As you know, light is electromagnetic wave. While sound is mechanical wave, Sound requires a medium to travel, and sound offers best condition for it. While light is enegry packates (photons) and solids hinder its path making it slower.
Is light faster than sound or sound is faster than light?
Light is faster than sound
Does light travel slower threw water?
Yes, light travels slower in water than in air.
Is the speed of sound faster or slower than light?
Way slower. For reference, the speed of sound is about 767.3 mph and the speed of light is 671,000,000 mph.
Does light travel more faster or slower as they enter water?
Slower in water.
Does light travel faster in glass then it does in a vacuum?
No, slower.
Can both light and sound travel through glass?
Both light and sound can indeed travel through glass. These are substances in which light and sound often travel through.
Does sound travel faster or slower with amplitude?
Amplitude has hardly any effect on the speed of sound.
