if by "most" you mean the fastest...
the more dense the material the faster sound can propagate. The closer molecules are together the faster the "message" can be sent down the line. Although sound travels very fast in air, gases are not dense at all. Sound would travel faster in water than air, and faster in glass than water. I am unsure what the fastest material would be, perhaps a metal that is very dense.
What else can I help you with?
Through which medium will sound travel most quickly?
when solids are packed tightly/closely together sound waves travel faster
What can affect the speed at which sound travels?
The most relevant answer to this question is medium, the most prime factor affecting the rate of sound travel is the medium which carries the sound waves, sound is fastest in solids and slowest in viscous fluids.
Which medium does sound travel the fastest through air water or steel?
Sound travels fastest through steel, followed by water, and then air. This is because the speed of sound depends on the density and elasticity of the medium, with steel being the most dense and elastic, allowing sound waves to propagate faster.
What material is the best medium for sound transfer?
Air is the best medium for sound transfer as it is the most common medium through which sound waves travel in our environment. In general, solids are better at transmitting sound than liquids and gases due to their higher density and rigidity. However, each medium has its own specific properties that affect the speed and quality of sound transmission.
What is the method by which a wave travels through a medium or a vacuum.?
Most forms of energy do NOT require a medium for transmission. There are several types of energy: 1. Magnetic 2. Gravitational 3. Electromagnetic 4. Nuclear Sound is the only one that requires a medium for transmission. 5. Sound Sound travels by vibrating the Particles in the matter that it is traveling through.

Can one will b able to hear on earth if there is no gravity?
Yes, you would still be able to hear. Sound only needs a medium to travel through in order for it to be audible. Gravity is a force, not a medium. The atmosphere is the medium that you most frequently hear sound through. The more dense the medium, the more quickly the sound can travel and vice versa. For example, sound travels faster and more efficiently in water than it does in air.

Where is sound produced?
sound can be produced in any medium - air, water and solids too, but most of the sounds we hear are through air. Animals like dolphins produce sound in water and hear it there.
Why do sound needs a material medium for their propagation?
We know that sound is a mechanical wave and as such, it transfers energy into the medium through which it travels as a means to propagate itself. Without a medium through which to progagate, a mechanical wave cannot move.

What types of materials can sound not travel through?
Spongy materials are the most difficult for sound to travel through. Vacuum is the best acoustic insulation but it doesn't really count for the purpose of this question, since it is not a material but a lack of material.
How does the temperature of the medium affect the speed of the sound?
For most mediums, a higher temperature results in higher density, and sound travels through denser mediums faster than through less dense mediums, so a lower temperature generally increases the speed of sound waves.
Does a sound wave or a light wave travel faster through a solid?
A sound wave. This is because the sound wave is transverse meaning it needs a medium to travel through. Most solids will block visible light but not other types of light. The solid works best for the transverse because the atoms are close together making it easy to transfer the wave through the material.
