That depends on the nature of the medium through which it is traveling and how that medium's density is affected (if it is affected at all) by its change in temperature.
The denser the medium, the faster sound travels through it.
For example, in a sealed chamber containing a gas, the speed of sound is not affected by temperature unless it gets cold enough for the gas to condense to a liquid. As long as it remains a gas, changes in temparature only affect its pressure, not its density.

At which temperature in water does sound travel the fastest?
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.
Do sound waves travel faster through air than solids?
No. In general, the denser the medium, the faster sound travels.
Witch objects does sound travel through?
Sound can travel through most substances but the loudness depends on the substance.
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 in some gases?
yes, sound does travel faster in some gases, but it usally dipends on the temperature. it trave l faster in warm air.
Does sound travel faster in air in winter or summer?
Speed of sound is proportional to absolute temperature. It should therefore travel faster in warmer weather.
Does sound travel faster in air in summer or in winter?
Speed of sound is proportional to absolute temperature. It should therefore travel faster in warmer weather.
Does sound travel faster in cold air or in steel?
Sound travels faster in steel than in air, regardless of temperature.
At which temperature in water does sound travel the fastest?
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.
Does sound travel faster through space or room temperature?
Nope, sounds doesn't travel faster on space because a medium is needed a region to another
How does air tempurature affect the speed of sound?
Sound waves travel through particle vibration, and when the temperature is high, the particles vibrate faster, thus the sound must travel faster with particles.
Does sound travel faster in hotter or colder temperatures?
The speed of sound in air increases with temperature, as the density of the air decreases.
Can airplanes travel faster than sound?
NO they can not travel faster than sound in thunder and lightning
How many times sound travel faster in solid as compared to liquid?
It depends on the temperature, the elasticity, and the density.
Why does sound travel faster in warm?
Because the molecules are less dense and they vibrate faster letting sound travel faster
When the temperature is higher does sound travel faster or slower?
as in summers the particles are far apart from each other so we can say that in low temperature sound moves faster because it needs a material medium to travel. as in winters that is low temperature their are a lot of particles in air so this helps the sound to propagate and takes less time to travel. n in summers that is high temp. the particles are apart so it takes more time to travel.
