The speed of sound in air at 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) is 343 metres per second. That is 1126.5 feet per second. Notice: The speed of sound changes with temperature and

a little bit with humidity − but not with air pressure (atmospheric pressure).

The Words "sound pressure at sea level" are incorrect and misleading.

The temperature indication, however, is absolutely necessary.
