Primary seismic waves are longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves can travel through solids, liquids and gasses (although seismic waves are of to low a frequency to normally be heard). Secondary seismic waves are transverse waves and only travel through solids.

Sound is a longitudinal wave, meaning that the vibration of particles is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. This allows sound waves to travel through solids, liquids, and gases by compressing and expanding the medium they are traveling through.
Confusing question. Try this - sound waves travel though solids and liquids (and gases), and electromagnetic ("radio") waves travel through a vacuum and gases well, les well through liquids such as water, and hardly at all though conducting solids such as metals.
S-waves cannot travel through liquids, but they can travel through solids and gases. P-waves can travel through solids, liquids and gases. Hope this helped! :D
Air can travel through some kinds of solids, if they are porous. Otherwise it can't. It can travel through liquids in the form of bubbles. It does not exactly travel through gases so much as mix with them.
Sound is transmitted through gases, plasma, and liquids as longitudinal waves. However, through solids it can be transmitted through either longitudinal waves or transversal waves. To view the source and more information go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound
Yes, a P-wave can travel through gas. P-waves are seismic waves that are the fastest and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They compress and expand the material they travel through, which allows them to propagate through gases as well.
Waves can travel through many media, depending on their nature. Sound waves can go through solids, liquids and gases. Transverse shock waves can only travel through solids. Electromagnetic waves can go through some solids, liquids or gases, or through a vacuum.
Sound waves can travel through solids, liquids, and gases.
Seismic waves, including P-waves and S-waves, can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. They are produced by earthquakes and other sources of vibrations and provide valuable information about the interior of the Earth.
