All types of sound - whether or not it can be heard by someone underwater is rather the question.

Sound travels through which type of matter?
Sound travels through all matter.
Does sound travel better though air or water?
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.....
What type of electricity travels in waves through space?
electronic sound waves
Which type of wave travels faster through solids then through gasses?
Sound waves (pressure waves).
The speed of sound is fastest in what type of matter?
Sound travels fastest, and best through a solid. eg. steel
A type of wave that travels only in matter?
the only wave type that can travel through matter is sound. sound waves cause vibrations in the material, which means that the waves move faster the closer the atoms in the component are to each other. for example, water is denser then air, so sound will travel through the water faster than the air.
What type of material does sound travel through fastest?
Sound travels through a solid fastest. This is true because the particles are tightly packed, and sound is transmitted by vibrations. Therefore, the more tightly packed the material is, the faster the vibrations are transmitted.
What type of air does sound travel faster in?
Sound travels faster in moist air
What is the medium for the waves?
Anything that "transports" the wave. The specific medium depends on the type of wave; a water wave travels through water, a sound wave through air (or other material), electromagnetic waves, as well as gravity waves, can travel through empty space.f
What media does a transverse wave travel through?
It depends on the type of transverse wave. A transverse water wave travels through water. A transverse wave on a rope travels along the rope. A transverse electromagnetic wave, however, needs no medium. It can propagate through a vacuum.
Which type of wave is sound?
Sound is a mechanical wave and must travel through a medium, such as air, water, and solids. Sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum.
What type of wave is the method of sound energy transfer?
Sound travels in mechanical longitudinal waves.
