The speed of sound is different depending on the medium through which the sound is traveling.
However,
The speed of sound in air: 344 m/s at 20 degrees centigrade
The speed of sound in water: 1500 m/s

That would depend on the medium and temperature. The speed of sound for air at 20 degrees Celsius is about 343 m/s.

770 miles per hour, but that's in air. In water, ground, etc. it's faster because the molecules are closer together.

Through what medium at what temperature?
Wikipedia and google (and also science books) are wonderful resources. Use them wisely.
