Spongy materials are the most difficult for sound to travel through. Vacuum is the best acoustic insulation but it doesn't really count for the purpose of this question, since it is not a material but a lack of material.

Is a sound wave mechanical or electromagnetic?
Seismic waves are mechanical waves.
How do geologist know what Earth's interior looks like?
Earthquakes occur frequently. They create different types of waves that travel through the earth at a variety of speeds. Certain waves are also reflected and refracted by some materials. As a result it is possible to tell where boundaries are between two different types of materials. By knowing the speed the various waves travel through the various materials, it is also possible to know the density of various materials. Geologists know the material ejected by volcanoes of various types. The density in the center of the earth is the same as a mixture of iron and nickel. Just above the center of the earth is heavy material, but is a guess!
What Types of building materials are conductors and insulators?
electrical
Types of informational materials and their sources?
there are three types...................textbooks, newspapers, instructional manuals.........................thats it!
What types of waves require a medium?
Mechanical waves.For example, sound waves, ocean waves, etc.Many waves need a medium to travel: sound waves, water waves, and seismic waves.Electromagnetic waves do not need a medium.
What types of matter does sound travel through?
Sound travels through all matter but some materials either absorb sound, reflect sound, or just slow sound down.
What are the materials that absorb sound?
sound can travel through any solid, liquid or gas such as :metal, wood, water and air.
What types of material can light waves travel through?
TRANSCULENT and transparent materials ...............................................................Gho$t
What types of materials does heat not travel through?
Heat can and does travel through all matter. It's just that some materials carry it much slower than others, and these are called insulators. The best ones being foam type materials.
How fast does sound travel through brick?
Sound travels through brick at the speed of 3650 meters per second. Sound is a mechanical wave that can travel through many different types of media, such as water, cork, gold, and glass.
What three types of materials affect the behavior of light?
The type of light, the distance it has to travel and the substance that it passes through.
What types of goods travel through Mexico?
Being the 11th largest economy in the world, not only finished products travel through Mexico; foodstuffs, raw materials and capital goods move through roads, railroads and shipping lanes.
Does a sound wave or a light wave travel faster through a solid?
A sound wave. This is because the sound wave is transverse meaning it needs a medium to travel through. Most solids will block visible light but not other types of light. The solid works best for the transverse because the atoms are close together making it easy to transfer the wave through the material.
Can sound pass through rocks?
Sound is a vibration that passes through matter. Sound is capable of traveling through virtually any type of matter, although some types allow sound to travel further or faster. Rock, however, allows sound to travel much more quickly than air does. In fact, elephants communicate with each other from miles away by sending very low pitch rumbling sounds through their feet and into the ground, and then, using their feet, they can detect sounds coming from other elephants.
What are two types of waves and What can they travel through?
current
How fast does sound travel through glass in meters per second?
There are different types of glass so there is not a single answer. The speed of sound is approx 4,000 metres per second ( range 3500 - 4500 ms^-1).
Can radiation travel though space?
All types of radiation can travel through space.
