i was sitting in my hot tub and was rotating my ankle and it popped and it sounded SO loud!!! and when you pop your fingers uderwater (even with head above water) it is SUPER loud! i was just wondering why?!
 
Water carries sound better than air does. It is less compressible, meaning that sound travels better through it. This makes underwater sounds sound so much louder above the water.
