Sound waves accessible by humans are attenuated in water.
Sound travels faster and farther in water than in air due to its higher density. However, our ears are not designed to efficiently pick up underwater sound waves, leading to difficulty hearing accurately underwater. The sound waves behave differently in water compared to in air, which affects our perception of sound.

If a tree drops down in the middle of the forest and nobody is around to hear it does it make noise for someone to hear?
The falling tree does create sound waves when it falls, but if there is no one around to hear it, there is no individual present to detect those sound waves and perceive them as noise.
What are areas of underwater ground called?
Areas of underwater ground are called seabeds or ocean floors.
Can you feel wet when underwater?
Being underwater does not feel the same as being wet when exposed to the air, because when you are underwater the water on your skin is not evaporating, and doesn't make you feel cold. Nonetheless, a person underwater is wet, even though he or she won't really feel wet.
What are underwater tornadoes?
Underwater tornadoes, also known as whirlpools or maelstroms, are large rotating bodies of water that can be caused by strong currents or the interaction of different water temperatures and densities. They can be dangerous to ships and small boats by pulling them in and causing navigation problems. Unlike tornadoes in the air, underwater tornadoes do not extend all the way up to the surface.
What is a underwater earthquake?
An underwater earthquake is a seismic event that occurs beneath the Earth's surface in the ocean. These earthquakes can result in the movement of tectonic plates, which can generate tsunamis due to the displacement of water. Underwater earthquakes are monitored using seismometers and can vary in magnitude and impact.

Can fish hear underwater?

Why is it hard for humans to hear underwater?
Humans hear through sound waves traveling through air, water is denser than air making it more difficult for sound waves to travel efficiently. This causes sounds to become muffled and distorted underwater, making it harder for humans to hear clearly. Additionally, the ears are not optimized for hearing underwater as they are designed to work in air.
Can harp seals hear?
