the speed of sound is about 331 m/sec, it depends on the temperature of the medium in which that sound propagates itself
The speed of sound depends more on the actual medium that is propagating the sound. Actually the speed of sound varies relatively slowly with temperature. At 20 deg C the speed of sound is 344 m/sec but the speed of sound in water is 1461 m/sec the speed of sound in Aluminum is 5104 m/sec !!!
I think it also varies with pressure.
Actually it is independent of pressure for an ideal gas because at constant temperature pressure/density is a constant.
