Waves formed on the surface of water are transverse in nature. But sound waves when propagated through water medium then that will be in longitudinal nature. Cannot be seen on the surface.
Why does the water xylophone change sounds?
My idea is that the water vibrates and sends sound waves through out the water and up the bottle creating the echo. I think that the more water the more high pitched the sound because since in water there are less particles to interfere with sound waves and water muffles sound. So in the bottles with less water the sound is deeper and lower pitched because the sound waves are mostly reverberating against the bottle.

How do sound waves differ from water waves?
