Sound travels better and faster in air because air has a lower density than water and the sound vibrations can travel faster through them and with more accuracy, whereas in water the vibrations slowly die out and do not travel well because the density of the water will likely muffle and obstruct the sound waves. sound travels better in air than in water as sound travels in vibrations.. it travels faster in water than in air but it travels better in air.....
