The sound speed depends on the property of the material where sound travels, not from the far surrounding. Thus, if sound travels in air, the fact that it is in a canyon or not has no impact.
Sound speed on the contrary depends on temperature and ono the presence of solutes in the gas (in the case of air for example on the air humidity). Sound speed in dry air at 20°C is 343.2 meters per second (1,126 ft/s).
Sound cannot travel through a vacuum as it needs a medium, such as air, water, or solid material, to propagate. In a vacuum, there are no particles for sound waves to travel through, so the speed of sound is essentially zero.
Hearing thunder after seeing lightning is an example of sound taking time to travel, as light travels much faster than sound. Echoes in a large canyon demonstrate that sound takes time to travel, as there is a delay between the original sound and the echo bouncing back.
The speed of sound cannot be measured in a vacuum because there is no medium for sound waves to travel through in a vacuum. Sound requires a medium such as air, water, or solids to propagate.
Sound travels at 1,225.044 kilometers per hour at sea level.
Sound travels fast because it propagates through a medium, such as air, by causing particles in the medium to vibrate and transfer energy. The speed at which sound travels depends on the density and elasticity of the medium - the denser and more elastic the medium, the faster sound can travel through it. In air at room temperature, sound travels at around 343 meters per second.
Oxygen
no from what i have learned light travels faster then sound
Solids
1000 feet
3400mph
I believe you mean "why does it matter how fast sound can travel?" There are many reasons for why it matters to know how fast sound travels. it can help with determining the distance of a lightning storm, tuning instruments, and is helpful with ballistics. -Tychusfindlay919

They both travel in the form of waves, and they both travel very fast.
No matter what you do to either of them, light is always going to travel at least several hundred times as fast as sound, and most generally about 800 thousand times as fast as sound. Sound will never travel faster than light, in any situation.
lool
it travels at 250-275mph
