Does sound travel faster through glass windows or walls?

AnswerSound will travel faster through glass than most wall materials. But a better question might be which material is more sound proof. The answer to that would be walls (without windows). Generally if a material or structure can leak air, it can leak sound proportionally.The actual speed that a material transmits sound is proportional to its density. Water, being far more dense than air transmits sound much faster... so much so that it is difficult to determine the direction of an underwater sound without the time lag between ears, to which we've become accustomed. Sound travels through steel many times faster than that.Likewise, sound travels slower at higher altitudes due to the decreased density of the atmosphere. This is why sometimes the speed of sound will be referred to in aviation circles by noting, 'at sea level' -- an important point, since the sound barrier at altitude may be far slower.

How do you find a slow leak in a hot water pipe?

Well water never lies where its leaking and if you see water dripping then you have follow the path of where the water is coming from like (example) if you have a basement and water is dripping from a riser pipe going up stairs then you know its location and most often the leak is in a wall upstairs or can be a angle stop to a toilet or lav and running back into the wall and down so the only way to find the leak is to follow the drippings path. Another way is if you absolutely don't want to cut a bunch of holes in the wall or move what ever is in the way, is to test the pipes with air and most of the time you can hear the air leaking out because air flows much faster threw leak holes then water.
