In general, the speed of a soundwave through a medium is proportional to the square root of the product of its density and its modulus of elasticity.

-The equations will vary with the material in question. In general, higher density=faster wave propogation. In a denser substance, the molecules/atoms are closer together so wave pressure gets transferred quicker.
See some examples here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound#Speed_in_solids

Your question seems vague to provide a specific answer, Density is related to weight.gravity/mass and wave speed seems related to electro-magnetic radiation, to completely seperate phenomina

vilocity of wave is directly proportional 1/(root of density of medium)
