Saturn is about 800 million miles from earth. The speed of sound at sea level is 769 miles per hour. That works out to 1.04 million hours. There are 8,766 hours in a year, so the trip would take about 119 years. Of course the speed of sound is pretty slow -- actual spacecraft go 20-30 times that fast -- about the same ratio as slow walking is to driving on a freeway.

Speed of sound = 344 m/s Saturn is about 1,400,000,000 km from the Sun. We are about 149,600,000 km from the Sun. Which means the distance between us and Saturn (roughly) can be anywhere between 1,549,600,000 km and 1,250,400,000 km. At 1,549,600,000 km it would take 52 days 3 hrs 17 mins & ~31 secs. At 1,250,400,000 km it would take 42 days 1 hr 41 mins & ~24 secs.
