Sounds travel the fastest in solids, slower in liquids and the slowest in gases.
Lighter materials and solids carry the vibrations of sound much more easily than heavy and dense objects.
The elasticity of the material is also an important part of deciding how well sound is transmitted.
More elastic substances carry sound better while less flexible elements absorb the sound.
Aluminium and diamond are the best materials for conducting sound.
