Do quieter sounds travel at the same speed but for less distance?

Yes, all sounds travel at the speed of sound because they are all sounds!
However, there could be a difference in their frequency. Loud sounds have higher frequency & quieter ones have low frequency.
If you play two speakers at 20 meters distance from you, both songs will reach your ears at the same time. But the one with higher volume will be heard more clearly & it will dominate the low volume song due to higher frequency.
