Sound does not travel faster than light.
The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second
The speed of sound is 343.14 meters per second
or, light travels at 186,000 miles per second
sound at 751 MPH

What is the fastest heat transfer?
It depends on the medium of heat transfer. For solids, it is conduction heat transfer. For liquids and gases, it is convection heat transfer. for vacuum (no medium), it is radiation heat transfer.
How much faster is the speed of light than the speed of electricity without using superconducting materials eg in normal computers?
We generally consider that the force of an electric field moves at the speed of light. And electricity moves at the speed of light.

Why you see a distant event before you hear it?
Because the speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound. Therefore, when the light from that event reaches your eyes, you see it. Then later, the sound from the event reaches your ears, and you hear it. Basically it's just because light travels faster than sound.
What travels faster in air sound or light and how do you know this?

Is sound faster than the eyesight?
Light travels faster than sound. Light travels at nearly 300 million meters per second, whereas sound travels at 340.2 meters per second (both at sea level). Light is, thus, about three hundred thousand times faster than sound. (In miles per hour, the sound barrier is 761 mph)
