Sound travels at approximately 343 meters per second (1,125 feet per second) in air at room temperature. However, hearing is a perceptual process that involves the brain interpreting sound waves, which occurs almost instantaneously. While the physical speed of sound is measurable, our perception of hearing can vary based on factors such as distance, environment, and individual sensitivity. Overall, we can detect sounds almost immediately once they reach our ears.
