The media that sound moves faster in order are solids, then liquids, and then gases or air. Sound cannot travel in a vacuum because it is a vibration of molecules.
sound passes thro' different media which are generally solids, liquids and gases
Gas, Solids, Liquids
solids, liquids, gasses
Sound waves can travel to some degree in all media with the exception of a vacuum.

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.
the speed of sound depends on the material through which it's passing. it is greater in solids than in liquids or gases because the molecules in a solid are closer togather than in a liquid or gas.Material Speed m/sAir(0°C) 330Water 1400Concrete 5000Steel 6000"compression-type" sound will travel faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases, because the solids are more difficult to compress than liquids, while liquids in turn are more difficult to compress than gases.

Sound waves can travel to some degree in all media with the exception of a vacuum.
The speed of sound depends only on the material it's traveling through, not on the source of the sound. In general, the speed is higher in more-dense media, like steel, water, and rock, then it is in less-dense media, like air.
The molecules must be close enough to touch. They can travel through solids, liguids, and gases.
Sound travels through solids faster than other states of matter because most solids are denser than liquids. Sound waves travel faster through denser media than through less dense media. and the solids have high elasticity.. sound travel faster in elastic bodies
There are three ways through which heat can move from one media to another. The three ways are conduction via solids, radiation through air and convection in liquids.
Sound waves travel faster through denser media, like solids, because the molecules are closer together, making it easier to pass the sound from molecule to molecule. Light and other electromagnetic waves travel faster through less dense media, and they travel fastest through a vacuum.
