Allan Arnold · Answer 1

The wavelength of the associated sound will increase. This will be noticed by the sound having a lower tone. As the sound passes through the solid object, not only will it sound lower in tone, it will sound softer, evidenced by if a person closes a door to a room and listens to a sound played from inside.

Answer : When a sound wave is observed to be moving from air through a solid velocity of a sound wave is small in air when it enter to a solid the sound waves usually decrease because of the compactness nature in the solids it blocks the passage of sound waves in air directly.

The wavelength will decrease if the sound is passing from air through a solid. One can think of many hurdles when a music is being played from a distant place. The tones will be lowered and milder.
