One cubic centimeter of air contains 90,000,000,000,000 atoms. In that context, mean free path is 68nm up to the limits of your ability to measure. That is flip a coin 90 million million times and average the heads and tails. It's going to be extremely close to 50%.

Not to mention that at 5ghz, the sound can only propagate 68 nm.
