One thing I've always wondered is....

I understood the speed of sound is faster in denser environments so it varies with pressure not temperature. But he formula is based purely on temperature not pressure.

Is the speed of sound the same if the temp is static ( eg 15c) and the pressure varies eg 990 mb vs 1013mb?
