Sound always need a medium to travel whther it be solid, liquid or gas. If we use several layers to build a shield, sound may not be able to penetrate. But it depends on the nature of the sound too. The audible sound which we can hear will not able to penetrate through several layered structures. But high frequency ultrasonic waves can penetrate even cement blocks.

What kind of material does sound travel through best?

Sound travels best through solids because the particles in a solid are closer together compared to liquids and gases, allowing for better transmission of vibrations. Metals, such as steel and iron, are particularly good conductors of sound due to their tightly packed atomic structure.


What do sounds travel through?

What kind of wave can travel only through matter?

A mechanical wave, such as a sound wave, can only travel through matter because it requires a medium to propagate. Electromagnetic waves, such as light, can travel through both matter and empty space.


Is sound energy or matter?

Sound is a form of energy that is produced when objects vibrate and create compression waves through a medium like air. Sound energy can be heard and has the ability to travel through different mediums, but it is not considered matter itself.


What kind of materials carry sound?

Materials that carry sound well typically have properties that allow vibrations to travel through them with minimal loss of energy. Solid materials like metals and wood are good conductors of sound, while liquids and gases can also transmit sound waves. The speed at which sound travels through a material depends on its density and elasticity.

Where does sound not travel?

outer space because you need some kind of physical material for sound to travel through and there's none of that in space


How do sound waves travel through materials?

The sound is made of vibration so as it moves, it vibrates the material to carry the sound. This also depends on what kind of material.


What are some interesting facts about sound energy?

What kind of wave does sound travel through?

Sound travels through matter as transverse pressure waves.


What kind of waves travel through earth?

Does the sound travel faster in steel then water because it vibrate faster?

No. The rate of the vibrations is the 'frequency' of the sound, and that doesn't change, no matter what kind of material the sound is traveling through. Sound travels faster through steel than through water or air because the steel is more dense.
