I thought I could learn here but most of this is speculation. Think I'm gonna find another forum for these kinds of questions, thanks for the attempts though!

if you actually did that you would see that the sound traveled faster and farther in water and the wall..

"Sound travels faster in liquids and non-porous solids than it does in air. It travels about 4.3 times faster in water (1,484 m/s), and nearly 15 times as fast in iron (5,120 m/s), than in air at 20 degrees Celsius"
