Abstract Silane (SiH$_{4}$) is a promising hydrogen-rich compound for pursing high temperature superconducting. Previous high pressure measurements of Raman, x-ray diffraction and theoretical studies on SiH$_{4}$ mainly focused on its polymorphic structures above 50 GPa, while the structure and the stability under lower pressure range are still unclear. Here we report an investigation of condensed SiH$_{4}$ by Brillouin scattering measurements at high temperature up to 407 K and high pressure up to 18 GPa. Brillouin scattering frequencies of fluid SiH$_{4}$ under compression are obtained under isothermal conditions of 300 K, 359 K and 407 K. The SiH$_{4}$ becomes unstable with increasing temperature and subsequently decomposes into silicon and H$_{2}$. We find that compression at room temperature induces two velocity anomalies corresponding to a fluid-solid state transition and a phase IV to phase V transition, respectively. Brillouin scattering spectra has been a powerful tool to investigate the fruitful phases and structure transitions in the hydrogen-rich compound under extreme conditions.
