Sound waves travel at, duh, the speed of sound, which depends on a lot of things like temperature, density of the medium, and such. Depending on such factors, the speed of sound is about 500-600 mph in air at sea level. This works out to be about 880 feet per second at 600 mph.

Sound is longitudinal, dependent on a medium, typically hundreds or thousands of meters per second.

E/M waves are transverse, do not ned a medium, travel at speeds close to that of light, 300 million m/s.
