The soundwaves caused by sounds made underwater, disrupts the water molecules causing them to vibrate. These vibrations hit our ear drum and is processed into our brain as sounds, but since the vibrations in water are slower then vibrations in air the sounds sound more obsure then if it were not in water.

Are the bird sounds you hear at The Masters golf tournament real or is it a recorder sound track?
I read a few years back in Golf Magazine that one of the major T.V. networks was busted at the masters for piping in artificial bird sounds during Masters coverage. Apparently the bird sounds they were using were not of birds indigenous to the August, Georgia area. A television viewer (who was an avid bird watcher apparently).
