∙ 13y agoThat depends on the composition of the wood.
However, yes sound does travel through wood. How fast it goes depends on the sort of wood. In many woods, the speed of sound is close to 4,500 meters per second (m/s) along the grain and 1,500 m/s across the grain.

∙ 13y agoThe speed of sound propagation depends on the type of wood and where it is traveling. Through fiber it varies between 10,000 feet per second and 17,000 feet per second.

Sound can travel through-?
sound can travel through wood and water like if you are in the pool you can make sound of bubble with your mouth under water
Why cant sound travel through outer space?
Sounds requires a medium to travel through. An example is air. You've also heard sound travel through water and solid objects like wood. In the past it was often thought that no medium exists in space. However, in current astronomy and astrophysics it is thought that dark matter is the medium by which sound can and does travel about space. Due to the atoms being so spread out though, the human ear would not be capable of detecting the sound waves.

Why does sound not travel through space?
Sound does move through space. It doesn't move though empty space, i.e. a vaccuum. In outer space there is a vaccuum (though not necessarily a perfect vaccuum).Sound is caused by vibrations in a medium such as air (or water or wood). These vibrations compress and rarefy the medium. The vibrations move through the medium as waves.In a vaccuum, there is no medium thus there is no sound.
Why are glass and wood good insulators of electricity?
For Current(Electricity) to travel through an object valence electrons are required. Most metals have valence electrons hence are good conductors of electricity. In case of glass and wood free electrons are not present hence electricity does not flow through them.
Three things that create sound?
The two things needed for sound to be created are vibrations and something that they can travel through. A person's voice creates a vibration, and it is carried through the air in the form of a wave, which results in sound.
Does sound travel faster through air or wood?
wood
Does sound travel the fastest through wood?
no
Where does the sound travel slowest through?
wood
Where does sound travel faster wood or brick?
You mean which one does it travel faster in? It would be a brick because of how tightly packed the molecules in the brick are together. Wood, which is a lot more fragile that brick, does not allow sound to travel through it as fast.
Can sound travel through water or wood?
I am not sure about wood, but sound travels through water VERY well.
What is the speed of sound through paper?
Sound waves need matter to travel through, and wood is matter, so yes, sound waves travel through wood. They travel through wood faster than they do through air, as wood is denser than air.
How sound travels through wood?
That depends on the composition of the wood. However, yes sound does travel through wood. How fast it goes depends on the sort of wood. In many woods, the speed of sound is close to 4,500 meters per second (m/s) along the grain and 1,500 m/s across the grain.
How do sound waves travel through water compared with wood?
Sounds travel better through denser objects and since water is denser than wood, sound travels through it better.
Does sound travel faster through wood or water?
Water.
Does sound or light travel faster through water?
Light travels much faster than sound, through wood.
Why does Sound travel faster through air than through wood?
It doesn't, sound travels faster through wood. The more dense the material the better the sound carries. Because wood is more dense than a gas such as oxygen the sound travles faster through the wood.
Do sound waves travel faster through wood or water?
Yes i guess sound waves travel faster through wood than in water. Because molecules are tightly packed in wood(solid) than in water(liquid).
