In a nutshell. As most people could/would/should know is that matter is denser in a solid. AKA gas is less dense than solid. Sound waves travel through these gasses and solids. Sound travels like waves on water. With this effect, the matter in something such as a table is closer and denser than air. It travels faster as a result and you hear it better. Try it sometime by putting your head on a table then tapping it and taking your head off and tapping. The sound is significantly lower. This is ALSO why you cannot hear noise in space, go gas or solid for sound to go through = no sound. Sound relies on the compression and rarefaction of solids and gasses to get around. Again. Sound is like water waves.

What else can I help you with?
Which type of material does sound waves travel through fastest?
Sound waves travel fastest through solids because the particles are closest together, allowing the waves to propagate more efficiently.
Does sound travel the fastest through glass?
Yes, sound travels fastest through solids, such as glass, compared to liquids and gases due to the tighter molecular structure. This allows sound waves to propagate more efficiently and quickly through the material.
Which medium will sound move fastest in?
Sound will travel fastest in solids because the molecules in solids are located close together, allowing sound waves to propagate quickly through the material.
Do sound waves trave their fastest in solids?
Yes, sound waves travel fastest in solids because the particles in a solid are closely packed together, allowing the vibrations to propagate quickly through the material. Solids have higher elasticity and a higher density compared to liquids and gases, which contributes to the faster speed of sound waves.
Which states matter can sound travel?
Sound can travel through any state of matter, including solids, liquids, and gases. The speed of sound can vary depending on the medium it is traveling through, with sound traveling fastest through solids and slowest through gases.
When does sound travel the fastest?
Through hot dense solids.
States would sound waves usually travel the fastest?
Sound waves travel the fastest through nonporous solids.
Where does sound travel the best?
Sound travels the fastest through non-porous solids.
Which type of material does sound waves travel through fastest?
Sound waves travel fastest through solids because the particles are closest together, allowing the waves to propagate more efficiently.
Sound travels through the air or water or solids by?
sound can travel in all three media(solids liquid and gas)and travels fastest through solids.
Does sound travel the fastest through glass?
Yes, sound travels fastest through solids, such as glass, compared to liquids and gases due to the tighter molecular structure. This allows sound waves to propagate more efficiently and quickly through the material.
What material does sound travel the fastest?
Sound travels the fastest in solids. Solids being the most denser make sound travel fastest as compared to liquids and gases which have speed of sound relatively less than solids.
Which medium will sound move fastest in?
Sound will travel fastest in solids because the molecules in solids are located close together, allowing sound waves to propagate quickly through the material.
Do sound waves trave their fastest in solids?
Yes, sound waves travel fastest in solids because the particles in a solid are closely packed together, allowing the vibrations to propagate quickly through the material. Solids have higher elasticity and a higher density compared to liquids and gases, which contributes to the faster speed of sound waves.
In what medium does sound travel fastest - solid -liquid - or gas?
Sound waves travel fastest through solids. *Generally, sound waves travel faster as the density of the transmission medium increases.
Does sound travel fastest in liquids?
No. In solids
How can you prove that sound waves travel fastest through solids than liguids and gases?
Through the vibrations
