Both high frequency sounds and low frequency sounds travel at the same speed.

So no high frequency sounds do not travel faster than low frequency sounds because they both travel at the exact same speed.

However low frequency sound waves travel further than high frequency sound waves do.

The reason that lower frequency sounds travel further than high frequency sound waves do is because there is less energy transferred to the medium.
