Muffled?

Are you aware that the speed of sound in water is 3x faster than in air?

Sound travels through water far better than through air. An explosion in water is anything but muffled! :hmm:
I knew some nerd was going to say this...so this is my response:
yes, I want a muffled sound...yes, I realize that sound travels faster in water then air....I also realize in reality depth charges are loud and probably would hurt my ears....so for entertainment purposes I would like to save my hearing for later in life... and make them muffled.

I have seen grenades go off underwater in real life and from the surface the explosion is a muffled sound.... you see the light then hear the burst but its quickly choked off from the water returning to fill the space that was created....I like that effect and would like to implement it in my game as an alternative to giving me hearing damage...

the sounds in the game by default sound like they are travelling in air...although I never heard an explosion underwater Im sure it doesnt have the same frequency as it does in the air and would probably sound different..take for instance when you try to talk underwater....you might be heard further and faster but, you won't sound the same as if you were talking in the air.
