A Google search should have sufficed.
Anyway, according to the Physics textbook by Serway (page 489),
the speed of sound in air is 343 meters/second.
What is weird is that 343 is the cube of 7.

Why is that "weird"? It's only a co-incidence! :-)

The speed quoted is the mean as it is affected by temperature and humidity, but only slightly. BTW the word is French so the proper spelling is "metres".

You are right about that first line - this site is a branch of Wikipedia and that gives direct answers to so many simply-found questions asked on here.

To a good approximation, speed squared = Young's mod / density

What is the speed of sound through Gold?
3240 meters per second everyone!
What is the speed of voice?
The speed of sound (and therefore, the speed of one's voice) is about 340 meters per second.
What is the speed of sound in air per hour?
Speed of sound in air is sometimes quoted as 331 meters per second or something similar; but actually, the speed varies, depending on the temperature. If you want kilometers per hour, just multiply meters per second by 3.6.
How fast is mach two?
Mach one is the speed of sound, which is about 761.2 miles per hour (340.3 meters per second). Mach two is twice the speed of sound, which is about 1,522.4 miles per hour (680.6 meters per second).
The speed of sound is approximately 340 meters per second If a sound wave has a wavelength of 0.68 meters the frequency will be approximately?
500 hertz

2191.21 meters per second.
How fast does a sound wave travel meters per second?
The speed of sound at sea level is 340.29 meters per second.
The speed of sound through oxygen at 0 and Acirc and degC is 316 meters per second. The speed of sound through solid copper is 5010 meters per second.?
No. The speed of sound in copper is well below that.
The speed of light and the speed of sound?
The speed of air at 20 degrees Celsius is 343 meters per second. The speed of light is 299 792 458 meters per second.
Is it true that sound travels at the same speed as light?
The speed of sound through air is about 340 meters per second. (The speed of sound in water is about 4 times faster than this). The speed of light in air is about 300 million meters per second.
Is the speed of sound in air is about 343 meters per second?
yes
When does sound travel on the speed with light?
Sound travels, in air, at about 320 meters per second. Light travels about 300 000 000 meters per second

What is speed of sound in meter per second?
The speed of sound is dependent on the temperature and not on the air pressure. At 20 degrees celsius the speed of sound is 343 m/s.
