The speed of sound does not travel.
In the event that an airplane's airspeed is below Mach-1, the speed of sound is faster
than the speed of the airplane.
On the occasion and at the moment when the true indicated airspeed of an airship or
an airplane is in excess of Mach-1, the airplane is at that time traveling faster than the
speed of sound.

Why you see a distant event before you hear it?
Because the speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound. Therefore, when the light from that event reaches your eyes, you see it. Then later, the sound from the event reaches your ears, and you hear it. Basically it's just because light travels faster than sound.
Can a sneeze travel faster than the speed of sound?
The speed of sound is faster then the amount of speed a sneeze can generate. The speed of sound travels 741mph while the information that is provided shows a sneeze can travel up to 100mph.
What is created when a airplane travels faster than the speed of sound?
Sonic boom
Why do you see fireworks before hearing them?
We see the firework works first because the because burning emits light . It is a fact that it travels faster than sound . So the sound energy produced during the burning of fire work reaches us late . So we hear the sound after vizualizing it.
Is it possible for humans to travels faster than the speed of sound?
Yes they can do that. But they need a ultrasonic plane.
Does sound travels faster downwind than upwind?
Sound travels faster downwind. The speed at which sound travels is relative to the medium it is moving through. When sound is traveling upwind, you subtract the wind speed from the speed of sound. When it is traveling down wind you add the wind speed.
Are farts faster than the speed of sound?
the sound travels at the speed of sound, but the gasses dont
How does light travel witch is faster light or sound?

Is the The speed of sound is the same the as speed of light yes or no?
No. Light travels much faster than sound.
Does the sound of a bomb explosion travel faster in air than the sound produced by a chirping bird?
No. Speed depends on how dense the material is that the sound travels through- it travels faster in dense water than in light air. The VOLUME of the sound has no bearing on the speed that it travels.

How does a jets speed affect the sound?
sound travels at a certain speed but jets go faster than sound waves
Relate the speed of sound to different mediums?
The denser the medium, the faster sound travels in it.
Is the speed of sound faster in colder temperatures?
The speed of sound slows in colder temperatures.The speed of sound is dependent on the medium it travels through. It travels faster in steel than water, faster in water than air and not at all in a vacuum.The molecules have more energy at higher temperatures so the sound waves can vibrate the air faster.
What type of jet travels faster than the speed of sound?
supersonic
Are airplanes jets?
Yes, jets are airplanes but they are called supersonic airplanes.
Why is it that lightning travels faster than sound?
Light speed is much faster than the speed of sound, ergo the light you see in lightning is visible, before you here the sound.
