The speed of sound has nothing to do with the sound pressure, like "at sea level" or on top of a mountain. But the speed of sound has very much to do with temperature. Scroll down to related links and look at "Calculation of the Speed of Sound".

Mach 1 is the relative speed of sound through air. Relative because the speed of sound varies with air density. At sea level the speed of sound is about 740 miles per hour. Mach 2 is then twice the speed of sound.


Speed of sound in air at sea level?

The speed of sound in air changes clearly with temperature, a little bit with humidity - but not with air pressure (atmospheric pressure). The words "sound pressure at sea level" are incorrect and misleading in the case of "speed of sound". The temperature indication, however, is absolutely necessary. Look at the link: "Speed of Sound in Air and the effective Temperature":
