Sounds travel faster in liquid compared to air because the molecules in liquid are closer together, allowing sound waves to propagate more quickly.
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.
Higher pitched sounds are typically easier to hear underwater compared to lower pitched sounds. The reason for this is that water is a denser medium than air, which results in faster attenuation of lower frequency sounds and better transmission of higher frequency sounds.
Yes, humans can hear sounds underwater, although they are usually muffled and distorted due to the different medium. Water is much denser than air, so sound travels faster and farther, but with a reduced clarity compared to in air.
Contrary to light, sound travels faster through a denser medium than a less-dense medium, meaning it will travel much faster in a solid than a liquid, and faster in a liquid than a solid. This is also why the infamous "If you scream in space, nobody can hear you." holds (some) truth: There isn't enough particles for sounds waves to bounce off of, so it dissipates.
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.
We do not "here" sounds, that is the wrong word. you "hear" sounds. We hear them through our ears which are sensitive to vibrations in the air.

your eardrums take in vibrations from the air...
Oxygen and air are not sounds.
you make sounds with your voice. You blow air, and add some of your voice too. This is called 'speaking'.You also hear sounds with your ears.

Sound travels faster in water than it does in air. It travels even faster in metals.
Yes. Air travels faster in liquid if you compare it to a solid. Air travels the fastest in gasses.
because air is thiner and water has monicules
Whales can generally only hear sounds that are made underwater. They have very good ears, because they 'talk' to each other using grunts and squeals over long distances. Sound waves travel extremely well in water . . . much better than in the air.
