I found that while proponents for the existence of a medium, the standard position is that there is no wave in medium molecular structure forms.
One of the reasons for this position is that there was no direct experimental evidence for the existence - everything can't be explained without it, hence the diagonal string razor approach.
Another involves the preposterous mechanical properties required of a medium which supports a wave at 3 x 108 m/s.
The velocity of any medium-dependent wave has the nature of the square root of an elastic property divided by an inertial or density property.
To support a wave length of different timbres would require an incredibly high "stiffness" for space which has near zero density.
A medium so tenuous that it produced no detectable drag on the surface which moved through it must yet have an incredibly high restoring force to bring it back to equilibrium once the tension pass the foundation.
OK, OK,.........you WIN !
