As already pointed out, LSS is temperature related only.
Used to see this practicaly demonstrated on the B767. Cruising at a high CI and encountering a steep temp gradient it was easy to exceed MMO. ie temp reduces 20deg almost instantly, LSS of sound reduces, next thing the Mno is through the roof.
