Assuming bulk properties of pure lead (at ambient pressure/temperature):
density(rho) = 11340 kg/m3
Young's Modulus (E) = 16 GPa
Poisson's Ratio(v) = 0.44
then, speed of sound, c is:
c = sqrt[E*(1-v)/(rho*(1+v)*(1-2*v))] = 2138 m/s

Velocity of sound depends on?
The medium through which it is propagating. For exampl if the sound waves are travelling in air they will move slower than those travelling through a wall speed of sound in solids > speed of sound in liquids > speed of sound in gases
Does sound travel through lead?
Yes.
In which of the following material does sound travel the fastest?
Sound travels faster in denser objects. And iridium and osmium are the densest elements found on earth.answ2. But the speed of sound in a simple solid depends upon its 'elasticity' and its density. Beryllium has a c of around 13 km/s, but is far from the most dense metal.And in general, the speed of sound in a metal is roughly five times that of sound in air; and the speed in a liquid is about three times that of air; but both vary widely.
Which is fastest sound or light waves?
-- In vacuum, the speed of sound is zero, so you can't compare them there.-- In air at sea level, the speed of light is about 874 thousand times the speed of sound.
Which material does sound go through the quickest?
There is no material sound can go through the quickest. Sound always have the same speed.
How do the speed of light and the speed of sound compare through air?
The speed of light through air at sea level is roughly881 thousand times the speed of sound.
As the temperature of a medium increases the rate of speed of sound through the medium what?
The speed of sound through the medium also increases.
Why speed of light is greater than speed of sound?
The speed of light is the speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate through a medium. The speed of sound is the speed at which acoustic waves propagate through a medium. As the speed of sound relies on the medium moreso than the speed of light, sound propagates much slower than light.
How fast through the speed of sound can a blackbird go?
A blackbird doesn't go "through the speed of sound", it moves through the air.
Velocity of sound depends on?
The medium through which it is propagating. For exampl if the sound waves are travelling in air they will move slower than those travelling through a wall speed of sound in solids > speed of sound in liquids > speed of sound in gases
How does solid affects the speed of sound?
The speed of sound varies, depending on what material it goes through.
How fast is sound energy?
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.
How slow or fast can sound vibrations go?
It depends very much on the medium which the sound has to travel through. Sound will not travel through a vacuum at all. Sound will travel faster through materials that are more dense, so that the speed of sound through solids and liquids is faster than the speed of sound through gases. In Earth's atmosphere, the speed of sound is faster at sea level than the speed of sound at high altitude. Generally, the speed of sound through air at sea level and normal temperatures is about 340 metres per second, while the speed of sound through a steel bar is about 5000 metres per second. However, the speed of sound through solids can be two different discrete values, depending on the mode of vibration propagation - compression waves or slower shear waves.
Does sound travel through lead?
Yes.
Does speed of sound through air increase when it hits water?
No why would the speed of sound will stay the same

What is the speed of sound through foam?
because it does
