I am not sure about distance, I think it may be further but NOT SURE, But, I do know it travels WAY faster in steel, something like 10 times faster.

Sound travels faster through what?
The speed of sound is determined by what it travels through. It travels faster through dense mediums, such as liquids, and doesn't travel at all in space, because there are no molecules to move sound waves along.
Sound travels fastest in?
Sound travels fastest in dense solids(steel, diamond, etc.). Since the particles of dense solids are very close to each other, the transfer of sound energy from one particle to another is much easier.
What is mostly likely to transmit sound the best that include Water in a swimming pool Steel in a bridge Water in the ocean Air in your classroom and Wood in a cabinet?
Sound will travel farther and fastest in water, followed by steel and the air would be slowest
Does steel conduct sound?
sound can travel through any medium ,except through vacuum
Why is sound faster in steel than gold?
because gold is made up of dense particles, and the denser the particles are, the more they resist in movement so it take more energy to move them which result in a slower transfer of sound energy. In comparison, steel is less dense than gold which makes sound transfer faster in steel than in gold
Does sound travel faster through steel or cloth?
sound travels faster through steel
Does sound travel faster in cold air or in steel?
Sound travels faster in steel than in air, regardless of temperature.
What do you think sound will travel faster through plastic or steel?
steel
Why do sound waves travel faster in steel than in air or water?
steel sound waves always go faster in solids
Does sound travel fastest in metal?
sound travels faster in solids. sound travels faster in metals like steel
Does sound travel faster in water air milk or steel?
air
What substance will sound travel through more quickly water air or steel?
Steel, The greater the density, the faster sound travels through it.
Does the sound travel faster in steel then water because it vibrate faster?
No. The rate of the vibrations is the 'frequency' of the sound, and that doesn't change, no matter what kind of material the sound is traveling through. Sound travels faster through steel than through water or air because the steel is more dense.
How many times faster does sound travel through steel than through air?
15 times faster
Why do sound waves travel faster in steel than in air?
As wave is a type of disturbance and propagates through atom to atom of the medium and in case of steel atoms(molecules) are much closer as compared to atoms(molecules) so sound waves travel faster in steel than in air.
Which material allows sound to travel 4 times faster than in water?
steel or air
Is water the material that sound travels fastest in?
no. the sound travells faster as the medium is denser. according to that fact, the sound will travel fastest in the steel.
