How does water affect sound waves?
Water makes sound slower and if it goes through matter it goes faster
Where can sounds not travel?
Sound cannot travel in a vacuum. Sound is mechanical energy, and it travels by the transfer of mechanical energy through the medium through which it is traveling. If there is nothing to transfer the mechanical energy, like there is nothing in a vacuum, sound cannot travel there.

Why do you think sound cannot travel through vacuum?
Sound travels by vibrating through matter (solid, liquid, gas) A vacuum is the absence of matter and with out matter there is nothing for sound to travel through
What can't sound travel through and why?
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum, such as in outer space. "Sound" refers to waves of compression which travel through matter. When there is no matter, there can be no such waves, and therefore no sound.
Does the speed of sound depend on the matter through which it is traveling?
Yes. It is faster in water than in air.

Explain why cant sound travel through vacuums?
there is no air in a vaccum. and sound needs air for the sound waves to travel through.
Sound travels through which type of matter?
Sound travels through all matter.
Does the sound travel faster in steel then water because it vibrate faster?
No. The rate of the vibrations is the 'frequency' of the sound, and that doesn't change, no matter what kind of material the sound is traveling through. Sound travels faster through steel than through water or air because the steel is more dense.
Is sound considered matter?
No, sound travels through matter but is not matter itself.
Is sound everything?
Yes because the air makes vibrations that make a sound. no matter what it is it makes a sound because of the vibrations.
How fast is sound energy?
It depends on the substance the sound is traveling through. If the sound is traveling through air, it is usually about 800km/h. If it is traveling through water, the speed is about 4000km/h. If it is traveling through cosmos, its speed is 0km/h.
What does the medium through which sound travels affect?
Sound travels the fastest through dense materials, since sound is simply the transfer of kinetic energy between matter. Thus a more dense object creates faster sound waves.
