When you speak, your vocal cords vibrate, creating sound wave. When these waves reach your ear, the ear drug vibrates, allowing the inner ear to detect the noise and send the correct signals to the brain. This is a very simplified version of the process, but good enough for my question. When you speak underwater, the sound waves can not translate from air to water effectively. My question is, if you inhales water and then tried talking, would your vocal cords be strong enough to form the sound waves necessary for communication. I realize that you would die from drowning if you ever tied this. I just wanted to know if human vocal cords are strong enough to do it.
Thank you in advance for the replies.
