If I could send a sound along a metal bar from here to the moon (a bar 3.10^8m long for example). The sound itself would not be constant according to the longitudinal direction of travel.
If we ignore the fact that your scenario as always is impossible by
a number of different reasons:
The speed of sound in a steel rod is ca. 5 km/s in both directions.
T ≈ 3e8/5e3 s = 60000 s = 16.7 h in either direction.
It would be faster in the return direction. And vice versa for a lunar observer.
