wikipedia.Presumably the more protons there are in the ocean the more the sound waves get amplified and transmitted.Other than that it may be the whales crying out for some tums?-Who told you that increasing acidity would make the oceans noisier?If anything, it might kill most of the marine life and perhaps that would make the oceans quieter.......
