Molecules at higher temperatures have more energy, thus they can vibrate faster. Since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly. The speed of sound in roomtemperature air is 346 meters per second. ... The speed of sound is also affected by other factors such as humidity and air pressure.

Hola mate !! ✨✨
here's your answer...⬇️⬇️
Speed of sound is directly proportional to the temperature. As the temperature increases the molecules of the medium also vibrate with greater amplitude. Hence , the transfer of energy (sound) is more rapid .
With the altitude , temperature increases. hence, molecules' energy also decreases and sound wave travels with slightly less speed.
hope it helps !! ❤️❤️
