I believe it has to do with the fact that the atoms are closer together. The forces between the atoms probably also affect the speed of sound.
It is according to the nature. Generally sound travels with high speeds in metals.
Sound travels faster in water than it does in air. It travels even faster in metals.
NO they can not travel faster than sound in thunder and lightning
Yes, sound does travel faster through metals than through other solids because the particles in metals are closely packed together, allowing sound waves to pass through more efficiently. Metals have higher speeds of sound due to their high density and stiffness.
Sound actually travels faster in liquids like water and much faster in metals like steel than it does in gases. Consider why this might be.
Sound travels faster through solids than through liquids and gases. This is because the particles in solids are closer together, allowing sound waves to travel more quickly through the material.
it is 15 times faster in iron (5,120 miles a second) than in air at 20 degrees celsius

No, X-rays do not travel at the speed of sound. X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation that travel at the speed of light, which is much faster than the speed of sound.
Just to give some clarity, ultrasound doesn't travel faster than sound. It simply resonates at a higher frequency than normal sound. Sound in a lighter atmosphere, or light travels faster than ultrasound.
They are called ultra sonic. They travel faster than sound
