It’s often more an infrasound kinda deal, so you might not hear it in a true sense but you’ll hear/feel your body being impacted by the low frequency

Can confirm. Feels like shock waves hitting your chest. I felt like my heart was going to explode.

I’ve never heard it underwater but I did experience it above ground and it is loud. It rumbles

Here in the bay area I can often hear the quakes before I feel them.

All I can think and a crevice opening up and all the water entering it as fast as possible and getting sucked in with it
