Technically, it depends on the temperature, humidity, and pressure of the air. Change any of those
and the speed of sound through that air changes.
A good figure that's usually close, and is easy to remember and carry around, is:
343 meters per second / 1,125 feet per second.
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.
No, sound cannot travel through a room with no air because sound waves need a medium, such as air, water, or a solid, to propagate. Without a medium, there is nothing for the sound waves to travel through.
Sound travels through air much in the same way as waves travel through water. Sound must have a medium to travel through and can't travel in a vacuum. The sound vibrates one air molecule which in turn vibrates the next molecule in line, and so on. This happens very fast at around 760 mph in air.
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.
Most of the sound you hear travels through air. Sound waves are vibrations that travel through the air and reach your ears, where they are processed by your brain as sound.

It depends what the sound travels through. The speed of sound in air is 340 m /s.

Sound travels around 1,500 meters per second through water, which is about 4.3 times faster than through air.
there is no air in a vaccum. and sound needs air for the sound waves to travel through.

Yes, sound waves can travel through air. Sound waves are mechanical waves that require a medium (like air, water, or solid materials) to propagate. In air, sound waves travel by compressing and rarefying air molecules as they move through the medium.
Sound waves can travel through mediums such as air, water, and solids.
Sound waves travel through a medium, such as air, water, or solids.
Sound travels through air. Experiment: Listen. Result: Do you hear anything? That sound has traveled through air.
