Sound travels faster as temperature increases, so there is no limit. There is an equation to determine the speed of sound at a given temperature.

Where do sound waves travel at their fastest?
Sound travel faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. Sound travels faster in water than in the air but in solids it travels about eight times faster. Sound travels at the fastest speed in steel. In solids it travel faster in a hot surface, the particles move faster if the solid is cold its slower the movement.
Sound travels through the air or water or solids by?
sound can travel in all three media(solids liquid and gas)and travels fastest through solids.
Does sound travel more slowly through a given medium with a low temperature or high temperature?
Sound travels more slowly through a medium when it is at a low temperature because in a low temperature the molecules move slower and in a high temperature the molecules move faster. For Example: ice that is frozen and boiled water in ice the water doesn't move as fast so the molecules were slower than in the boiled water. HOPE I HELPED YOU!!
Does sound travel faster through water than it does through air?
Speed of sound in water is approximately 1500 meters per second. ( The exact speed depends on the depth of water and its density) and the speed of sound in air is approximately 340 meters per second. So sound is almost 4.4 times faster in water than in air.
When sound waves travel from air to water what will happen to the speed at which they are traveling?
Sound speeds up when it goes into water from air. Sound travels much faster in water than in air.
When does sound travel fastest?
through water.,
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.
Does sound travel faster through ice snow water or steam?
what does sound travel through fastest ice,snow,water,steam
What material would sound travel faster air iron or water?
sound travels the fastest in solids, then liquids, then gas. So it would travel through iron the fastest, then water, then air.
Which of these would allow sound to travel fastest air wood or water?
wood
Which medium does sound travel the fastest through air water or steel?
Steel.
What does sound travel the fastest in air or water?
faster in water than in air <><><> Agree. The denser the material, the faster sound travels through it.
Which does sound travel best in cloth iron water or wood?
Sounds travel best in solids that are of high density so sound travels fastest in iron.
How velocity of sound in relation with salinity and temperature and pressure?
Speed of sound in water is affected by the oceanographic variables of temperature, salinity, and pressure. Look at the link: "How fast does sound travel in water?"
Is sound travel fastest through water?
Yes it does approximately 3.2 times due to the parcels arrangement
Where do sound waves travel at their fastest?
Sound travel faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases. Sound travels faster in water than in the air but in solids it travels about eight times faster. Sound travels at the fastest speed in steel. In solids it travel faster in a hot surface, the particles move faster if the solid is cold its slower the movement.
Does sound travel the fastest through water?
No. Sound travels fastest through solids because the molecules are closer together than in liquids or airs. Sound travels faster through steel than any other material.
