Sound travels faster through iron because iron is more dense than air, which means the particles in iron are bunched closer together. When a sound occurs, the vibrations bounce against the particles and then all the particles bounce against each other until the sound eventually bounces into your ear. It takes a shorter time for sound to travel through iron because the sound can bounce from particle to particle more quickly as there is a smaller distance between each one, whereas it takes longer through air as the distance between each particle is much larger. That's why if you are in space and talk (without a space helmet or anything) you wouldn't hear anything because there are no particles for the sound vibrations to bounce against.
Hope this was helpful! :)
Iron is denser than air. Waves travel faster through denser medium.
Sound travels via particle-to-particle vibrations around a mean position; this means that the more particles there are, the better the sound travels. Therefore, sound travels faster through iron than through water or air. Sound travels through iron roughly 15 times faster than through air. The more dense the solid, the better the sound transfer. Sound will travel the fastest in solids since the molecules are more tightly packed together, allowing sound to travel through the medium faster. Then comes liquids, then gases. Sound travels fastest on earth because there is no sound in space! since there's no medium in space for sound to travel through.
sound travels the fastest in solids, then liquids, then gas. So it would travel through iron the fastest, then water, then air.
Sound travels faster in iron. Usually sound travels faster in media with higher density. Also presence of lattice makes difference too.
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.
I believe that sound travels faster through iron because it bounces off the sides, and causes it to travel faster, reaching the other side.

it is 15 times faster in iron (5,120 miles a second) than in air at 20 degrees celsius
Iron. The denser the material, the faster the waves can travel through it, because the vibrations carry faster. In addition, since milk is liquid, the motion of the liquid in response to the sound vibrations through air may absorb some of the waves.
Metals such as iron
5120 m/s
Sound will travel through all of those.
Speed of sound in iron = 5120 metres / sec = 11453 miles / hour
