I think you may have mixed your answer up with your question.
Sound doesn't have a density, but air density affects the speed of sound.
Moist air has a higher mass/density than dry air.
Speed of sound is higher due to denser air.

Is velocity of ultrasonic sound depends on density?
Yes - on density but not frequency. Sound (of any frequency) travels much more rapidly through water, for example, than through air.
Why doesn't sound travel best by water?
Density of water affects the sound propagation. Density of air is lighter than of water.. !!
What is the region of a sound wave in which the density and the pressure are greater than normal?
compression
Why sound would tavel more slowly in cork than in steel?
That is because of density.Lead has a high density than steel.
What is the relationship with a floating object and density?
The density of an object is related to the density of the fluid it is in because if the density of the object is less than the fluid than it will float. If this density of the object is greater than the density of the fluid it will sink to the bottom.

When sound travels in gas is it more dense or less dense?
The gas phase is less dense than the liquid or solid phase of a substance. Density is not a property of sound.
How does destiny effect sound?
I assume you meant "density" More dense materials, such as solids, generally carry sound faster than less dense materials such as air
Why does sound travel fastest in a liquid than a gas?
Density of the medium.
How much does 1 square meter of soil weigh?
Density of loose soil is about 1200 kg/m3 1 cubic meter of soil may weigh more than this if compacted or moist.
Why does sound move more rapidly -or slowly- through one medium than another?
Generally, the density of the transfer medium and its temperature determines the rate of transfer of sound energy. The more dense the medium and the higher its temperature, the faster sound will travel through it.
Is density of honey more than the density of cotton?
yes cotton is more fluffy than honey . honet has more viscocity as compared to cotton i.e. honey is more thick than cotton. so its density increases than cotton
Why does dry gas exert more pressure than moist gas?
I wonder who said it did. Did he realise that some gases might weigh more than the water which is contained in moist gases?
How nature of material affects the speed of a sound?
1) As you might already know, sound is a vibration of kinetic energy from one molecule to another. So rationally speaking, the speed of sound will be faster if the particles are more tightly bound to each other, because the transfer of kinetic energy will be much easier if the molecules were close. This leads us to the following conclusion ( concerning states of matter ) :- The speed of sound is the fastest in solids. The speed of sound is less fast in liquids than solids, but more than gases. The speed of sound is the slowest in gases. 2) The velocity of sound depends on two properties:- Elastic properties and density. a) Elastic properties are those that maintain their shape without deformation when a force is applied to them. For example, steel has higher elastic properties than rubber,so, the velocity of speed in steel is faster than that in rubber. b) Density , density is the amount of mass per unit volume. The more the density, the less the speed of sound, and vice versa.
What is the region of a sound wave in which the density and the pressure are greater than normal?
compression
Why is the density of copper wire more than the density of PVC?
copper is metal, density greater than water.PVC is synthetic organic, density less than water.
