Sound travels through all matter but some materials either absorb sound, reflect sound, or just slow sound down.
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.
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.

Sound travels faster in a medium that that has no or less interference. In other words we can say that it will travel faster in solid practically thinking that sound is echoced by the solid objects better than the liquid medium and as a result the sound waves travel with faster velocity and travel greater distance.
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.

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.

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).
All types of radiation can travel through space.
P waves can travel through all types of matter. S waves can only travel through solids.

A membrane that does not allow substances through is impermeable. One that allows some substances, but not others, is semipermeable or selectively permeable.
