On average, a person can hear sounds underwater up to a distance of about 60 meters (200 feet). This distance may vary depending on water conditions, such as temperature, pressure, and clarity.

Can you hear a motor boat if you were underwater?

Yes, you can hear a motorboat underwater. Sound travels more efficiently in water than in air, allowing underwater sounds to be transmitted over greater distances. The noise produced by the motor and the vibrations from the boat can be detected by the human ear when submerged, making it possible to hear the motorboat even from a distance.

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 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.
