Buy an air horn. Find a pool of water big enough to put your head in and the air horn. with your head under water have a friend stand far enough away 50ft or so and submerge the airhorn and depress the top. If you hear it sound travels under water. The cheap way is for two people to go under water and one yells. you will hear the other person and prove sound travels under water.


Why we can hear sounds better in air then we can underwater.?

Sound travels faster in water than in air, but water is denser and less compressible which results in higher sound attenuation. This means sound waves weaken and lose energy more quickly in water, making them harder to hear compared to in air. Additionally, our ears are specifically adapted to detect sound in air, which further contributes to hearing sounds better in air than underwater.

I live on a lake and swim quite often. When you go underwater and a boat goes by a 1/4 mile away, you can distinctly hear the prop and engine whirring. Also, the boat sounds much closer and louder than it does above water because sound travels better in water than in air. This is because it is more dense than air.

Through air, we hear and speak. But with water blocking, sound is distorted and hard to understand.
