Answer:

Metals

Step-by-step explanation:

SOURCE GOOGLE

"A material's elasticity or "springiness" is also important for transmitting sound: less elastic substances such as hard foams and paper are more likely to absorb sound than carry it. The best materials for carrying sound waves include some metals such as aluminum, and hard substances like diamond."
