Assuming an ideal gas, the speed of sound depends on temperature
only. Air is almost an ideal gas.

Assuming the temperature of 25°C in a "standard atmosphere", the
density of air is 1.1644 kg/m3, and the speed of sound is 346.13 m/s.

The velocity can't be specified, since the question gives no information
regarding the direction of the sound.
