There is no such thing as subsonic sound. A sound will always travel at the speed of sound for what ever medium it is passing through. Subsonic refers to an object moving at less than the speed of sound.

Subsonic sound are below the range of normal human hearing (20 Hz - 20,000 Hz). So anything lower than 20 Hz is subsonic.

a subsonic sound is a sound travelling slower than the speed of sound.
what a kind of question is that ? a joke ?
subsonic describes any speed of something travelling slower than the speed of sound.
sound travels AT the speed of sound.
supersonic means something travels faster than the speed of sound.
so as an answer i would say subsonic sound is ... sound.
Sound can travel in different speeds depending on the media it travels in. as far as i remember the speed of sound in water is faster than the speed of sound in air.
but basically sound always travels at sonic speed by definition, if you don't make a differnce for the media in the question.
