The speed of sound depends on the medium through which it is traveling. Sound travels fastest through solids, then liquids, and slowest through gases.
As the molecules in a solid medium are closely packed together, sound waves can travel more quickly through it. Sound waves travel over 17 times faster through steel than through air.
The molecules in a liquid medium are also more close together than a gaseous medium, so sound travels 4 times faster in fresh water as compared to air.
In a gas, sound can travel only when molecules collide with each other, and as the molecules are quite far apart, the speed is slowest in gases.
Solids are denser, so sound travels through them faster.

Sounds can't travel through a vacuum, it requires a medium (something to travel through). It can travel through the rest but the best is gases because the particles are more spaced out, unlike solids and liquids which are more closely packed.

Seismic waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases.

S-waves cannot travel through liquids, but they can travel through solids and gases. P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gases. Hope this helped! :D

Yes
Air can travel through some kinds of solids, if they are porous. Otherwise it can't. It can travel through liquids in the form of bubbles. It does not exactly travel through gases so much as mix with them.
Waves can travel through many media, depending on their nature. Sound waves can go through solids, liquids and gases. Transverse shock waves can only travel through solids. Electromagnetic waves can go through some solids, liquids or gases, or through a vacuum.
sound is made up of vibrations, and so you hear sound as the vibrations travel through the particles of solids liquids and gases.

yes it does
Sound can penetrate those mediums.
