Sound travels faster and more efficiently in water compared to air, causing the frequencies of sound waves to be altered and making voices sound muffled or distorted when heard underwater. Additionally, water is denser than air, which affects the transmission of sound waves and contributes to the muffled effect.

A muffled sound is a sound that is quiet or subdued, usually because it is muffled or dampened in some way. This can happen when the sound is partially blocked or absorbed by something, like a muffler or a barrier.
Sounds can be muffled when something intercepts the sound wave (lets say a blanket) and the sound waves can only get through a little bit. You can't hear the sound clearly but can still hear it, so it is muffled!
