Is sound louder and clearer when it travels through water?

No,sound is louder and clearer when it travels through air.


Does sound travel faster in cold air or hot air?

The speed of sound in air is given by the formula cair = 331.3 + (0.66 x T) m/s, where T is the temperature in °C. What that equation says is that the warmer air is, the faster sound waves travel in it. Wikipedia has particulars in a post on the speed of sound, and you've got a link to that article. Surf on over and check it out.


Will cold air particles transmit sound at a higher speed than hot air particles?

colder air is more dense than warmer air. As a result it is harder for the sound to travel through the cold air and the speed of sound is slower in cold air compared to warm air.


Does sound travel faster in warm or cold air and why?

Does sound travel faster in cold air or in steel?

Sound travels faster in steel than in air, regardless of temperature.


Do sound waves move faster through cold or warm air?

warm air


When does Sound travels fastest through matter when it is warm cold or not moving?

It depends... It's well-known that sound travels faster through denser (cold air has higher density then warm) media. So if you have a situation when sound travels through either cold or warm air. The speed of the sound will higher in the cold air. From other side if you have air which of course possesses certain temperature which is moving the sound speed will depend on both temperature and the vector of velocity (direction where it is blowing and and value how much it's blowing).


Do Pipercross air filter panels improve the sound of your engine instead of having to invest in a cold air induction system?

No, there will be little difference in the sound.


Does replacing you cold air intake change the sound of your car?

if you replace it, it will just sound the same if you upgrade it you will gain about 2-3HP and use more fuel meaning less mileage I HAVE A 2003 TAHOE AND I INSTALLED THE COLD AIR INTAKE AND IT GAVE IT A BETTER SOUND


Does sound travel faster in warm air or cold air?

it travels faster in warner air since cold particles dont move very fast because they do not have much energy. then when warm air enters the particles they start moving faster and vibrating faster which moves sound along alot faster. hope this helps :).


Why is my Chrysler Town and Country blowing only cold air and no heat?

There might be a blend door issue causing you to have cold air, but no hot air. Try moving the lever from cold to hot, and listen for the sound of the door moving.


Would sound travel faster in warm air or cold air why?

The sound travel faster in warm air because the average mean speed of the molecules of air is faster in warm air than on cool air. Sound is transferred by collisions of molecules. Therefore sound waves will travel faster on warm air because collisions of molecules of air in warm air is greater.
