Mastergrade Engleman Spruce - preferably with the longest drying time and lowest moisture content.
The very best bits come from old piano soundboards where they have had all the frequencies put through them; this makes the wood more resonant at those same frequencies on a guitar.
If you wanted a lower-budget but high quality soundboard then AAA grade cedar can be cheap. It is not worth using excellent wood unless every other aspect of the guitar is of high quality and if it is balanced (for resonance and preference) as whole. I.e. don't use plastic, make tight joints and use a tight grain piece of neck wood that is in-between the pitch (finger-tap and listen) of the fingerboard wood and the soundboard. As for the sides and back; quilted figured wood generally passes vibration easily, the nicer it looks the better.. :)

Which material transmits the most sound energy?
air is a good transmitter of sound energy. also metals are very good due to there metallic bonding properties. most materials are best at transmitting different frequencies, aka their resonant frequency.
What are examples of appications of resonace?
Antennas are tuned (resonance) to the radio signals they are receiving; glasses can be shattered by sound resonant to the glasses structure; bridges can collaspse due to resonant marching; radiation can be absorbed in treatment resonant to the cells structure.
What is it called when the frequency of sound source matches the natural frequency of a receiver?
That is the resonant frequency.
What makes a room sound proof?
Usually very dense. sound cancelling material in the walls or coating the inside of the wall of the "soundproof" room. Also see Acoustic Foam.
Which material does sound go through the quickest?
There is no material sound can go through the quickest. Sound always have the same speed.
What makes a sound proof room keep the sound in?
the material that was used.
What is the definition of boom?
A loud, deep resonant sound
Why is lead a soundproofing material?
Lots of mass (very low resonant frequency) Low stiffness (very high co-incident frequency) All materials have both a resonant and co-incident frequency, at which sound is transmitted more efficiently. Materials where these frequencies occur outside of the range of hearing (20 - 20,000 Hz) are better for sound proofing. With lead, the resonant frequency is below 20Hz and the co-incident frequency is about 20,000Hz.
What makes a harps soundthe thikness of the string or the leangth of the string?
The strings on the harp vibrate, that vibration resonates in the sound board. The thichnes and the length of the string, as well as the material and construction of the string determine frequency. Thicker and longer strings make for a lower pitch sound. Shorter and thinner strings have height pitch. The sound board amplifies the sound, and also gives the tone a character.

Why is a Trumpeter Swan named a Trumpeter Swan?
A Trumpeter Swan is named as such because of the distinctive trumpet-like call it makes, which can be heard over long distances. The sound is loud, clear, and resonant, similar to the sound of a trumpet being played.
What are examples of appications of resonace?
Antennas are tuned (resonance) to the radio signals they are receiving; glasses can be shattered by sound resonant to the glasses structure; bridges can collaspse due to resonant marching; radiation can be absorbed in treatment resonant to the cells structure.
What's the difference between a plastic subwoofer case and one made of oak?
A subwoofer case constructed from oak will offer superior sound qualities, but is slightly more expensive. Oak is a very resonant material and will properly and efficiently focus sound pressure.
What makes the whistling sound in my mouth?
Oscillations set up in small resonant void spaces in / near your mouth, set up by the movement of air. Or you have swallowed a mosquito or small bird.
What is a term to describe what you detect by percussion?
It may be consonance. sound may be dull or resonant.
What is it called when the frequency of sound source matches the natural frequency of a receiver?
That is the resonant frequency.
Why does a person sing better in the shower?
The bathroom tiles make your voice sound more resonant.
