Sound moves through a solid faster than anything. In order it goes, solid, liquid, and gas. So metal is faster than water is faster than air.
Sound waves can move through almost any medium, although it moves more slowly through solid medium than gaseous. Water waves can move only through air or water.
Generally, sound moves faster through a solid than through a liquid. This is because the molecules of a solid are more condensed than those of a liquid. However, sound does not move faster through all solids than through all liquids.1

Sound is vibration transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas. To see sound waves as longitudinal waves in air moving, scroll down to related links and look at "Longitudinal wave - Wikipedia".

Sound, which is mechanical energy, travels through a solid by setting up a mechanical compression wave in that solid. When the compression wave of the sound in air strikes the solid, it compresses the solid. It isn't much, but the energy delivered by the air is transferred into the solid. Waves of compression and rarefaction move through the solid as they did in air, but move much faster in a solid.

The speed of sound is greater in solids. This is because the molecules in solids are closely packed. This allows sound to move faster.
The speed of sound is the fastest through a solid. You can calulate the speed by the formula distance and time. It is the fastest through a solid because the molecules are closer together than the other states of matter, so the reaction time is shorter.
Sound travels more slowly through a medium when it is at a low temperature because in a low temperature the molecules move slower and in a high temperature the molecules move faster. For Example: ice that is frozen and boiled water in ice the water doesn't move as fast so the molecules were slower than in the boiled water. HOPE I HELPED YOU!!
Yes, it can. In fact, for sound to move through anything, it has to "enter" it. Sound is mechanical energy, and this mechanical energy is transferred into the medium through which the sound is traveling. The medium itself supports the transfer of the (mechanical) energy of sound.
A group of atoms move, bump into the next group of atoms, etc.; the energy of the bumping gets propagated. Sound will travel through almost any material.
if its going from a solid to a liquid the particles move FAST. if its going from a liquid to a solid the particles freeze and move VERY slowly.

Generally, the density of the transfer medium and its temperature determines the rate of transfer of sound energy. The more dense the medium and the higher its temperature, the faster sound will travel through it.
