Medium
Medium has a huge effect of the speed of sound. When most people discuss the “speed of sound” they are talking about the propagation of sound waves through the medium of “Air”.
Temperature
Temperature has a large effect on the speed of sound. Not as much as the “Medium” does, but far more than anything else. Temperature affects the speed of sound because temperature can affect the “elastic” qualities of different mediums.
Pressure
Pressure is the final factor that has a significant impact on the speed of sound. The effect of pressure on the speed of sound is due to the materials inertial properties. In short, the more pressure that is applied to the material or medium the denser it becomes and the greater the “inertia” becomes.
