Sound waves travel through water by vibrating the molecules surrounding them. Since human beings have an eardrum that vibrates and translates that vibration into sound, obviously it cannot vibrate as well underwater, making it difficult for humans to hear as well underwater. Incidentally, sound travels at the speed of 1,81.99 meters/second in fresh water.
