No. The amplitude of the sound (and therefore its loudness) will decrease at greater distances; the speed will remain constant (assuming other factors, such as the density of air and the temperature, are constant).

How elasticity of a medium affects the speed at which sound travels?
by causeing larger sound waves through objects
Which is true about speed of sound in air?
Well speed of sound in air at room temperature is 350 m/s . It depends on the density of the medium. Sound cannot propagate through vacuum. Speed of sound is directly proportional to the temperature of the medium.
How does the speed of sound relate to temperature elasticity and density?
The speed of any mechanical wave depends on the density of the medium. Since solids are the densest, the speed of sound is minimum in solids. It is the maximum in gases, since the medium is the least densest.
How many times faster than the speed of sound can you travel?
No real limit, up to the speed of light. The Apollo astronauts traveled at ABOUT 32 times the speed of sound on their trip to the moon. That is the fastest yet.
How does each factor affect transmission of sound waves?
Pressure does not make any change in the speed of sound But temperature affects it. Velocity is proportional to the square root of kelvin temperature Humidity also affects the speed of sound. Higher the humidity more the speed
Is the speed of sound directly or inversely proportional to the temp?
Neither. The relationship is not that simple.
How elasticity of a medium affects the speed at which sound travels?
by causeing larger sound waves through objects
Why does speed of sound depend on the temperature of a medium through which sound waves travel?
Speed of sound increases with the increase in temperature of the medium .In fact the speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of absolute temp. of the medium.
Which is true about speed of sound in air?
Well speed of sound in air at room temperature is 350 m/s . It depends on the density of the medium. Sound cannot propagate through vacuum. Speed of sound is directly proportional to the temperature of the medium.
True or False - The speed of light is directly proportional to the distance traveled please explain why?
False. The speed of light is always the same: 300,000 kilometers per second.
What is represented by a single point on a curved line in distanced graph showing accelerated motion?
A bobsled's distance-time graph indicates that it traveled 100 m in 25 s. What is the bobsled's speed
What is the effect of temperature on the speed of sound?
Speed of sound depends on the density of the medium. As temperature increases density decreases due to expansion in the volume. Hence speed of sound gets affected by the change in temperature. Speed of sound is directly proportional to the square root of the temperature of the medium.
If concord traveled at twice the speed of sound and could fly to New York in half the time it took a 747 does that mean that a 747 travels at the speed of sound?
No
What is the difference between the frequency and the speed of a sound?
Frequency is the number of cycles per second. Sound has frequency. The speed of sound is the distance traveled during a unit of time. 768 mph.
The speed of sound in air is directly proportional to what?
The speed of sound in air changes clearly with temperature, a little bit with humidity - but not with air pressure (atmospheric pressure).Speed of sound depends mainly on the temperature.
How does the temperature of a material affect the speed of a sound passing through?
on increasing of temperature, density goes low and it is known that density and speed of sound both are directly proportional hence speed of sound decrease when temperature increases esp in gas.
How is speed shown on a distanced-time graph?
By the slope of the curve.
