The speed of sound will vary in proportion to the air quality and materials the sound travels through. For example, if you are at ground level, and the temperature is around 60-degrees Fahrenheit, sound will travel about 761 miles per hour. If the temperature was lower, say 32-degrees Fahrenheit, the speed of sound would be about 742 mph. This is because at lower temperatures the air gets heavier.
