What sort of cross-country propagation velocity do you think that "fed up
with booming car stereos" wave will have?

Ans:

A convenient formula for the speed of sound in air is

c = 20*sqrt(273 + T), T in Centigrade and c in meters/sec

or

c = 49*sqrt(459 + T), T in Fahrenheit and c in feet/sec

The speed of sound in air at a temperature of 0 degrees C and 50%
relative humidity is 331.6 m/s. The speed is proportional to the square
root of absolute temperature and it is therefore about 12 m/s greater at
20 degrees C. The speed is nearly independent of frequency and
atmospheric pressure but the resultant sound velocity relative to the
ground may be substantially altered by wind velocity.

Some portion of the wave may become imaginary and some
distortion should also be expected.

I do believe "wondering" was asking about propagation
of the ordinance rather than the sound waves. Thus
his "fed up with booming car stereos" [ordinance] wave
would need to propagate through some legislative medium
such as the one sarcastically described above.
Need I continue?

The only way topenrtate that medium is byconsistent(rapeated) tries...
Not intense, just repeared from time to time. ventually a light will
turn on in some mindto allow the issue to air.

Been there, done that.
Thanks.
