When a sound moves from one density to another it loses a lot of energy. That is why you can't hear sound very well through doors. You may be interested to know that sound travels faster in water than air because water is more dense.

What wave creates sound?
Things vibrating, such as a speaker or your voice box.
Why it is unable to hear sound traveling through water?
Because you've never listened? I have, and I find it quite easy to hear sound travelling through water.
Is it Mach or times the speed of sound?
Mach is the speed of an object expressed as a multiple of the speed of sound in the same medium. Thus, an object travelling at 686 metres per second through air, at sea level, is travelling at Mach 2 because sound would travel through it at 343 m/s. However, it the object was travelling under water at the same speed then it would be travelling at approx Mach 0.46 since sound travels at 1484 m/s through water.
How does air and water make sound?
Air and water are sound transfer mediums. Unless acted upon by an outside force, neither air nor water makes sound.
Can a liquid create a sonic boom when it breaks the sound barrier- For example a huge drop of water travelling faster than the speed of sound?
You probably meant 'travelling faster than the speed of sound' since, according to most scientists, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. It is most unlikely that any 'drop' of water could reach the speed of sound and thus break the sound barrier, since it would be slowed by wind resistance.
Do shrimp need water to lay eggs?
Yes. Shrimp cannot live outside of water.
Why Sound produced in air cannot be heard in deep water why?
well there is sound and it is vet clear for any type of fish or any sea creature under there but it is harder for us to hear because we speak English and don't understand the music or hear it When we speak, we give off air. Through air, we hear and speak. But with water blocking, sound is distorted and hard to understand.
Does sound travels the fastest in air?
Speed of sound (M/Sec): Sea water at 0C: 1450 Sea water at 20C: 1522 Sea water at 30C: 1545 Butyl rubber/carbon (100/40): 1600 Neoprene: 1510 Neoprene/carbon (100/60): 1690 Rubber (natural): 1600 So, on the whole, sound is slightly faster in rubber
Why can't you hear clearly underwater?
Sound waves accessible by humans are attenuated in water.
What transmits a sound through solid?
Sound waves transmit sound through a solid, as well as air and water. Sound waves cannot be transmitted through a vacuum.
What are words that describe how fast or slow a sound wave is moving?
The density of the medium through which it is travelling: for example, about 343m/s in air; almost 1500m/s in sea-water.
Which of these can sound not travel through?
Sound cannot travel through vacuum. It needs a medium, such as air, water, earth, etc.
