Sound can move through any material, although it must be said that some materials are much better sound conductors than others. In particular, sound can move through liquids and gases as well as solids but not vacuums.
Sound can move through anything that has atoms that can transfer the impulse they get - in other words, basically any type of matter.

Can sound waves move through space?
space is a vacuum, and sound can't move through a vacuum.
Sound must move through matter how is light different?
Light is able to move through matter, but it doesn't need matterin order to move from one place to another.
Velocity of sound depends on?
The medium through which it is propagating. For exampl if the sound waves are travelling in air they will move slower than those travelling through a wall speed of sound in solids > speed of sound in liquids > speed of sound in gases
Do sound waves move faster through cold or warm air?
warm air
The speed of sound is greater through a solid than through a gas because the molecules in a solid are?
The speed of sound is greater in solids. This is because the molecules in solids are closely packed. This allows sound to move faster.
Can sound waves move through space?
space is a vacuum, and sound can't move through a vacuum.
Why cant sound move through space but light can?
Sound can.
How does sound move through a liquid?
If I'm not mistaken all sounds move in waves.
What is required to create sound?
vibration and a medium for it to move through
Does sound move faster through a liquid than through a solid?
Generally, sound moves faster through a solid than through a liquid. This is because the molecules of a solid are more condensed than those of a liquid. However, sound does not move faster through all solids than through all liquids.1
Why does sound not travel through space?
Sound does move through space. It doesn't move though empty space, i.e. a vaccuum. In outer space there is a vaccuum (though not necessarily a perfect vaccuum).Sound is caused by vibrations in a medium such as air (or water or wood). These vibrations compress and rarefy the medium. The vibrations move through the medium as waves.In a vaccuum, there is no medium thus there is no sound.
Can sound waves move through any kinds of matter?
Yes. Sound cannot travel in a vacuum.
What do sound waves move through?
Any thing that is able to vibrate.
Why don't sound waves move in a vacuum?
There is no air for it to travel through
How does sound move through a medium?
Vibrations are carried through the atoms in a structure. When these vibrations travel through air, they are amplified by the ear drum and sensed by nerves as sound.
What are some interesting facts about sound energy?
sound energy require some kind of material to travel through and they cant move through a vaccum
What does sound wave move best through?
The denser a material is, the faster sound waves will propagate through it. Sound wave will generally propagate more easily through solids as they are denser than liquids or gases.
