Every material has its elastic modulus, and the speed of sound is proportional to the square root of the elastic modulus of that material.
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.

A radio wave travels about 874,000 times as fast as a sound wave,plus it doesn't need any material to move through, as sound does.

The rate at which sound travels through stone depends on the stone. Sound will travel faster through warm stone than cold stone.
it travels at 250-275mph
Sound and light never travel together, because they have different speeds.Sound doesn't travel at all unless there is some material for it to travel through, and then its speed depends on the material. In air at sea level, the speed of sound is about 340 meters per second (751 miles per hour).Light can travel from place to place whether or not there is any material in between, and its speed also depends on what it's traveling through. In vacuum, with no material at all, the speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second (670.6 millionmiles per hour). In air at sea level, then, light travels about 882 thousand times as fast as sound does.
You'd have to say that the speed of sound waves in vacuum is zero, becausesound can't travel through vacuum at all. Not even an inch. Sound needs amaterial substance to travel through.
