Looking in my "Pocket Ref" compiled by Thomas Glover (Sequoia Publishing, Inc., Littleton, Colorado, 1997, 2nd Edition), I find the following on page 13 (in a table labelled "Elevation vs Air and Water":

Altitude [m]	Speed sound [m/sec]
0	340.3
250	339.3
500	338.4
750	337.4
1000	336.4
1250	335.5
1500	334.5
1750	333.5
2000	332.5
2500	330.6
3000	328.6
3500	326.6
