In a nutshell. As most people could/would/should know is that matter is denser in a solid. AKA gas is less dense than solid. Sound waves travel through these gasses and solids. Sound travels like waves on water. With this effect, the matter in something such as a table is closer and denser than air. It travels faster as a result and you hear it better. Try it sometime by putting your head on a table then tapping it and taking your head off and tapping. The sound is significantly lower. This is ALSO why you cannot hear noise in space, go gas or solid for sound to go through = no sound. Sound relies on the compression and rarefaction of solids and gasses to get around. Again. Sound is like water waves.

Do sound waves trave their fastest in solids?
Yes. Sound waves travel fastest through solids.
Does sound travel the fastest through glass?
No, but sound can travel at 4,540 m/sNo, sound travels fastest through solids.
Which type of material does sound waves travel through fastest?
Solids
Does sound travel fastest through snow or steam?
Snow because snow is a solid and steam is a Gas and science has shoe that sound travels fastest through solids
Sound waves travel fastest in what?
solids
Do sound waves trave their fastest in solids?
Yes. Sound waves travel fastest through solids.
Does sound travel the fastest through glass?
No, but sound can travel at 4,540 m/sNo, sound travels fastest through solids.
When does sound travel the fastest?
Through hot dense solids.
States would sound waves usually travel the fastest?
Sound waves travel the fastest through nonporous solids.
Which type of material does sound waves travel through fastest?
Solids
Where does sound travel the best?
Sound travels the fastest through non-porous solids.
Sound travels through the air or water or solids by?
sound can travel in all three media(solids liquid and gas)and travels fastest through solids.
What material does sound travel the fastest?
Sound travels the fastest in solids. Solids being the most denser make sound travel fastest as compared to liquids and gases which have speed of sound relatively less than solids.
In what medium does sound travel fastest - solid -liquid - or gas?
Sound waves travel fastest through solids. *Generally, sound waves travel faster as the density of the transmission medium increases.
Does sound travel fastest through snow or steam?
Snow because snow is a solid and steam is a Gas and science has shoe that sound travels fastest through solids
How can you prove that sound waves travel fastest through solids than liguids and gases?
Through the vibrations
Does sound travel fastest in liquids?
No. In solids
