The velocity of sound in metal is 330m/s. This is due to the closely packed atoms in a metal i.e.,solid.

The number you mentioned is an approximate velocity of sound in AIR. In metals the sound travels much faster than that. The speed of sound in gases, liquids, and solids is calculated from their density and bulk modulus (elastic properties of the media). The more dense is the media, the faster the sound travels.
For example, the speed of sound in iron is 5130 m/s, in gold - 3240 m/s, in diamond - 12000 m/s.
Yes. The speed of sound in a medium depend on the (sq root of the elastic modulus/ the density).The speed of sound in a few metals are :-Beryllium with a speed of about 13 km/sec. (the highest)Potassium has a velocity of sound of about 2km/sec. - (soft metal)Lithium, has a sound velocity of about 6 km/sec.( the lightest metal)Copper a fairly dense but soft metal has a sound velocity of about 3.8km/sec.Osmium about 4.9 km/sec. (The densest metal)Magnesium about 4.9 km/sec. a light metal, but stiff.
The speed of sound in steel is faster than the speed of sound in air.
100% - sound is vibration of atoms/molecules - it cannot travel through vacuum ___________________________ The idea of "speed pf sound in a vacuum" is meaningless; sound cannot travel without a medium such as air, water, metal, stone, or SOMETHING. Sound waves are mechanical vibrations; there has to be something to vibrate. The speed of sound in air is around 700 miles per hour, while the speed of light is 186,000 miles per SECOND.
Sound needs always a medium for transportation. Therefore in vacuum in outer space we cannot hear a sound, like they play us in science fiction films. The speed of sound depends on the medium in which it is transported. The speed of sound is slow in gases, like in air. The speed of sound is faster in liquids, like in water. The speed of sound is fastest in solids, like in metal.

The speed of sound through titanium varies depending on factors such as temperature and crystal structure. Generally, the speed of sound in titanium ranges from approximately 3,200 to 3,900 meters per second.
There are two factors if it is a metal. Those are elasticity and density.
Speed metal is a sub-genre of heavy metal music that originated in the early 1980s from NWOBHM and hardcore punk roots. It is described by Allmusic as "extremely fast, abrasive, and technically demanding" music.Motörhead is often credited as the first band to invent/play speed metal.[1] Other heavy metal bands, such as Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, had significant influence on the genre. This can especially heard in their dueling guitar sound, which would come to be a staple of speed metal. Some of speed metal's earlier influences include Deep Purple's "Fireball" and Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy" (which was eventually covered by the thrash metal band Metallica), from their 1974 album Sheer Heart Attack[2], and Deep Purple's song "Highway Star", from their album Machine Head. The latter was called 'early speed metal' by Robb Reiner of speed metal band Anvil.[3]. Led Zeppelin's "Communication Breakdown", first released in January 1969, could also be said to be an early template for speed metal as mentioned in Mac Randall's [4].Speed metal eventually evolved into thrash metal. Although many tend to equate the two subgenres, there is a distinct difference between them. In his book Sound of the Beast: The Complete Headbanging History of Heavy Metal, Ian Christe states that "thrash metal relies more on long, wrenching rhythmic breaks, while speed metal is a cleaner and more musically intricate subcategory, still loyal to the dueling melodies of classic metal."Regional differencesSpeed metal's sound varied between various regional scenes. European bands leaned towards the sound of bands like Venom, Motörhead, and Judas Priest. Japanese bands had a more melodic sound that resembled power metal. North American bands had a faster, more aggressive sound that would later influence the thrash metal movement. (Sourse wikipedia)
there is no specific wave they all travel faster through water but scientifically speaking sesmic waves do i belive also The speed of sound depends on the medium in which it is transported. The speed of sound is slow in gases, like in air. The speed of sound is faster in liquids, like in water. The speed of sound is fastest in solids, like in metal.
The speed of sound in a solid is faster than the speed of sound in air.
The speed of sound in steel is faster than the speed of sound in air.

No, the speed of sound is faster in solids.
The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound.
The Sound of Speed was created in 1988.
The loudness of the sound has no effect on its speed.
