Well the simplest reason for this is " low density of hydrogen"
Actually the speed of sound depends on the elasticity as well as the density of medium, The density have inverse relationship in this case, more the density of medium through which sound traveling the less will be speed and vice versa for alternate case. Since the density of hydrogen is lower than the methanol density. So the sound speed is more in the hydrogen water as compared to the methanol.
Remember speed of the sound also varies with temperature.
