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.

At or below sea level. This is where air pressure is the highest, so it is able to travel through the material better if there is more material to start with.

Closer to earth the faster it travels.

Where the density of the material they are traveling through is the densest. Thus, sound travels faster through water than air, and even faster through metal, as in a bell.

At the highest possible temperature. This is because at high temperature, the molecules in air have high velocities and this causes sound waves to travel the fastest.
