The speed of sound in the air is inversely proportional to temperature and not related to altitude (except that at higher altitudes is is usually colder). The speed of sound is the same at 78 degrees at sea level or 78 degrees at 5000 feet. The basic rule of thumb is the colder it is the slower the speed of sound, the easier it is to get noisy (transonic) lead downrange.
