typical sound velocities (longitudinal waves) in different materials:
air 343 m/s
aluminium alloyed 6380 m/s
aluminium unalloyed 6320 m/s
aluminium oxide 9000-9850 m/s
steel (austenitic) 5650-5850 m/s
steel (ferritic) 5920 m/s
steel casting 5730 m/s
Speed of sound in iron = 5120 metres / sec = 11453 miles / hour
That completely depends on what "slowly" means to you.Sound propagating through iron is quite slow compared to the speed of lightin vacuum, but is substantially faster than the same sound in air.
A sound wave with a frequency of 125 Hz has a wavelength of 40 meters (speed = frequency x wavelength). At a speed of 5000 m/s, this sound wave would have a period of 0.08 seconds (period = 1 / frequency).
Sound travels faster through iron than through air because iron is a denser medium with particles packed closely together. This allows sound waves to propagate more efficiently through the material compared to the less dense and more spread out particles in air. In iron, the vibration of particles is quickly passed along due to the tight molecular structure, resulting in a faster speed of sound.
Sound waves travel faster through iron than air because iron is a denser medium with particles that are closer together. This allows the sound waves to propagate more quickly through the material compared to air, which has less dense particles that are farther apart, creating more resistance and slowing down the speed of sound.
Speed of sound in iron = 5120 metres / sec = 11453 miles / hour
Sound travels through iron at a speed of approximately 5120 meters per second.

The first flight at faster than the speed of sound occurred on 14 October 1947. The aircraft was the Bell X-1 and the pilot was Captain Charles Yeager.
One source on the Internet (http://www.bamr.co.za/velocity%20of%20materials.shtml) has the speed of sound in various glasses between 4260 and 6800 m/s and that source has the speed of sound in steels 5900 to 6100 and cast iron 3500 to 5600 So according to that source the speed of sound is comparable in both iron and glass with the variations giving lower speeds in some iron compounds/manufacturing states then the lowest speeds in glass and some glasses having higher speeds than steels.
The sound velocity in grey cast iron typically ranges from 2400 to 3100 m/s, depending on factors such as microstructure, composition, and temperature. It can be affected by the presence of graphite, as well as the amount and distribution of other constituents in the material.
assuming 1-D chain of Iron(56) atoms with interatomic separation 2.5A spring constant 4eV/A^2 then calculation gives the speed 6551m/s which is 6.551 km/s

No, the speed of sound is faster in solids.
It depends on the substance the sound is traveling through. If the sound is traveling through air, it is usually about 800km/h. If it is traveling through water, the speed is about 4000km/h. If it is traveling through cosmos, its speed is 0km/h.
it means when you hear a screeching sound whitch sounds like the sound of iron on stone.
Iron Speed Designer was created in 1999.
