The speed of sound is determined by the medium through which it travels, not by its frequency or amplitude. In a given medium, sound waves with different frequencies and amplitudes travel at the same speed.

In general, the speed of sound is faster in denser mediums, such as solids, compared to less dense mediums like liquids or gases. For example, sound travels faster in water than in air, and faster in steel than in water.

Therefore, whether a sound wave has a high frequency or high amplitude does not affect its speed of propagation through a specific medium. Both high-frequency and low-frequency sound waves will travel at the same speed through that medium.
