Why is it hard for humans to hear underwater?
Humans hear through sound waves traveling through air, water is denser than air making it more difficult for sound waves to travel efficiently. This causes sounds to become muffled and distorted underwater, making it harder for humans to hear clearly. Additionally, the ears are not optimized for hearing underwater as they are designed to work in air.
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.
Why you can hear sounds better in air then you can underwater?
Sound moves faster and further in water than air, so it would seem like it must have something to do with the receiver. I'm guessing, but I'd guess it's because the eardrum evolved to hear sounds in air. Underwater you don't hear using the eardrum, you hear by way of bone conduction which apparently doesn't let you hear normal sounds as well as the air/eardrum method.
How does the sound of an object change when it is underwater, is it louder or softer compared to when it is in the air?
When an object is underwater, the sound it produces is louder compared to when it is in the air. This is because sound travels faster and more efficiently in water than in air, resulting in a louder sound underwater.
What are underwater sound detecting systems called?
Underwater sound detecting systems are called hydrophones. These devices are used to listen to and record sounds underwater, such as those produced by marine animals or underwater activities.
Why do divers hear better under water?
Sound travels faster underwater, but this does not mean that divers hear better underwater. It just means that the sound is heard more quickly.

Do divers hear better underwater?
They can hear more, but not better. Because of the density of water, vibrations are changed in pitch, and may be muffled and garbled. Since clarity is the most important factor in hearing, underwater communication is mostly done by hand signals instead. On the other hand, sound moves more quickly underwater, and as a result you can hear from a greater distance. Things can be heard from a lot further away and/or are louder than in air. Unfortunately, because of the higher speed, and reflections from the bottom, sound direction is almost impossible to determine by ear.
Why do people hear better underwater?
People hear better under water because there aren't as many sound particles in the water so u can hear everything better
Why can't you hear underwater?
Sound waves accessible by humans are attenuated in water.
What do frogs hear underwater?
they hear noises
Can you hear underwater with a tube?
no

Why do harp seals have whiskers?
To make them cute. But for real, to help them "hear" low frequency sound underwater, to feel other water movements, and to feel their surroundings.
What can frogs hear underwater?
They will simply hear what is around them. Sound, which is vibrations, can travel in water, air and through anything apart from a vacuum.Whilst underwater, frogs hear sound waves that have been emitted by other frogs and ambient noises also. Frogs use internal ears to process sound signals as well as their lungs, although the sensitivity of the lungs is not as high as that of the ear structure.They can hear fish, insects, animals and other frogs that are in the water. They hear using their big round ears called tympanum. Frogs can hear under water through the vibration that travels through the water, but they cannot hear sounds that are short and of high frequency.
Can a chicken hear sound?
they can hear sound in ears
