Dense solids.
Related Information:
Sound waves travel mechanically, by transferring their energy, molecule by molecule, through a transfer medium. So, the more dense the transfer medium (molecules closer to one another), the faster sound energy is transferred.
Different perspective:
Sound travels by vibrating the particles of the medium through which it travels. So sound travels best in steel as the particles are tightly packed, through wood or water but poorly in air, and not at all in a vacuum.

What kind of material does sound travel through best?
Denser material, higher speed.
What types of materials can sound not travel through?
Spongy materials are the most difficult for sound to travel through. Vacuum is the best acoustic insulation but it doesn't really count for the purpose of this question, since it is not a material but a lack of material.
Do sound waves travel best through air?
Surprisingly no. Air is a gas which means that the molecules are far apart. Even a liquid is better that air for sound to travel through because the molecules are closer together. But, a solid is the best for a sound to travel through. This is because the molecules are very close together so the vibration is transferred much quicker though the material.
What material conducts sound the best?
The best type of material that conducts sound the best would be any solid. Only because of the sound that hit the compacted atoms and it would travel the fastest.
What surface does sound travel through best?
It travels best through solids
What material does heat travel through best?
Copper.
What medium does sound travel through the best?
solid
What surfaces does sound travel through?
It travels best through solids
Where do sound wave travel the fastes?
Sound waves travel best through air than anything else.
Why does sound travel best through a solid?
the matter inside is bunched together so sound travels best through a solid.
Does sound travel best through solidsliquidsor gases?
liquids.
Do sound waves travel better through solid liquids or gasses?
sound waves travel through best through solids because they are more dense, then liquids, and finally they travel the worst through gasses.
