According to The Bible, a lion roars when it has prey. The question is asked in Amos 3:4, "Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey?" The context of the verse is that, no, he will not. The lions roar brings fear to the lions prey, thus Amos 3:8 says, "The lion hath roared, who will not fear?" The roaring of the lion when he has prey causes fear in the victim and this fear makes escaping harder for the victim and thus aids the lion in capturing his food. "Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it" Isa 5:29

∙ 11y agoIt does NOT. Sound travels at a speed determined by temperature, pressure, and the medium through which it propogates.
Sound travels slowly through air. It travels faster through liqiids. It travels even faster through solids.
Frequency (the Lion's growl is low frequency) is not related to the speed of transmission.

∙ 9y agoThe speed of sound depends on the medium and its temperature, humidity. It is irrespective of the source. So both roaring and buzzing sound would travel at the same speed
