Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the fact that sound is caused by vibrations, it's more noticeable in liquid because the vibrations may cause ripples in the liquid

Velocity of sound travels faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases because "the density of solids is higher than that of liquids, meaning that the particles are closer together."
