1. Temperature: Sound travels faster in warmer temperatures because the molecules in the medium are moving faster and can transmit the sound waves more quickly.
2. Density of the medium: Sound travels faster in denser mediums because the molecules are closer together and can transmit the sound waves more efficiently.

Two factors that affect the speed of sound are:
- Temperature: The speed of sound increases with temperature. This is because the molecules of a gas move faster at higher temperatures, so they can transmit sound waves more quickly.
- Density: The speed of sound decreases with density. This is because a denser medium makes it more difficult for sound waves to travel through it.
