Steel, The greater the density, the faster sound travels through it.
Sound travels faster in solids compared to liquids and gases. This is because the molecules in solids are closely packed together, allowing sound waves to travel more efficiently through them. In general, the denser the substance, the faster sound will travel through it.
Sound vibrations travel through mediums such as air, water, and solids. In general, sound can travel through any substance where the particles are close enough together to transmit the vibrations.
Sound requires a medium, such as air, water, or a solid substance, to travel through. In an empty space, there are no particles for sound waves to travel through, so they cannot propagate.
when solids are packed tightly/closely together sound waves travel faster
Sound travels fastest through solids, so it would travel most quickly through iron. Then through water, followed by cork, and finally air.
Any substance!

Sound can travel through most substances but the loudness depends on the substance.

Since sound is a mechanical wave (it needs a substance to travel through) it cannot travel through a vacuum.
Sound (and vibration) are a wave system of sequential compressions and rarefactions of a material. These waves are mechanical and do need a substance through which to travel. They cannot travel through a vacuum.

Water- It is denser, and sound travels better through a denser substance.
