I guess you refer to the speed of sound. The speed of sound depends on the material sounds goes through, as well as temperature, pressure, humidity, among others. For example, the speed of sound in air is around 350 meters/second; in some other materials it can be several times as fast.

The sound barrier does not move and so its speed is zero. The sound barrier refers to the speed of sound in a specified medium: the denser the medium, the higher the speed of sound and factors such as temperature, altitude and humidity affect the speed of sound in air. At normal temperature and pressure, and at seas level, the speed of sound in air is 343.2 metres/second.
