No, the speed of sound does not depend on the intensity or amplitude of the waveform. The speed of sound in a medium is determined by the properties of the medium itself, such as its density, compressibility, and temperature.

In a given medium, the speed of sound remains constant regardless of the intensity or amplitude of the sound wave traveling through it. This means that increasing or decreasing the intensity of a sound wave does not alter the speed at which it propagates through the medium.

However, it's important to note that the intensity of a sound wave does affect its loudness or perceived volume. Higher intensity sound waves are perceived as louder, while lower intensity sound waves are perceived as softer. But again, this change in perceived volume does not affect the speed of sound in the medium through which it is traveling.
