The humans hear sounds using their ears. When sound waves enter the ear they go through a process making the sound waves translated from vibrations to meaningful explanations and of course the process requires the help of the brain to translate every sound we hear.

Sound waves hit the eardrum and cause it to vibrate, those vibrations travel through the inner ear through a series of small bones and nerve endings that send those signals to the brain.

No............... it rather refracts the sound proportionally to its density..............

Infact, sound can actually travel faster in water than in air , due to its viscosity.
