I'm not sure on the technical aspects but it's never worked for me yet :) also the sound wouldn't be preserved long enough in the bubble to make it to the top, and then with the small area of bubbles there wouldn't be much sound anyway .. that's my theory but it's not scientific.

If you shout under water, any air bubbles will not carry the noise.
Noise is simply vibrations carried through atoms close together. If you were to yell underwater, the sound would carry through the air bubble, but would quickly disspate through the water, since the molecules are packed closer together. By the time the air bubble reached the surface, the vibrations in the air molecules would stop or be transfered to the water.

perhaps, if you were very close to the surface. Sound is energy, vibrating air molecules as it radiates from its point of origin. Being in an air bubble under water the soundwave travels across the bubble very fast. Some of it is absorbed by the water on the other side of the bubble, some is reflected back. Of what is reflected back, it too travels across the bubble quite fast, some is absorbed and so on and so on. What is left of any sound by the time surface tension is broken is so small it's not even as loud as the bubble popping.

Never ever in the world would the noise rise in an air bubble. when shouted we force some air out which rises in form of a bubble. but sound is a mechanical wave which can propagate though a medium through vibration. hence it travels through both the water and the rising air but in form of vibrating (the water or air). hence no sound bubbling up.

No, sound would not travel in an air bubble that would be released once it reached the surface. Rather, when you make sounds it is your vocal chords that vibrate and it is those vibrations that will propogate through the water. Since water and air have different properties they also differ when it comes to how sounds travels. Since water is more dense it will be much harder to hear a sound produced while underwater.

it is to be noted that one cannot shout under water, because if you try, your a`ir canaql will fill full of water, sno air buubles will originate from your voicebox, no sound, no buubles at surface. even sound can travel through water.

Maybe you think yourself funny but this is highly dangerous, being considered that if the sound is produced on a low range of specific ultra-sounds, this can trigger the collapse of your ceiling

No did this years ago with my mate,nothing but noiseless
bubbles

no i think it would be quite hard, because your mouth would fill with water....
