Answer 1

Cold day is the answer

Answer 2

The answer is a cold day. This is because the air molecules are more compact during a cold day than a warm day. This because the low temperature makes the air molecules vibrate and collide at low energies. When sounds transmit through cold air, the distance between molecules is shorter than in warm air, hence it takes less time for a molecule to 'bump' into its neighbor to transmit the sound energy.
