Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -At around 18 weeks of pregnancy, your unborn baby will start being able to hear sounds in your body like your heartbeat. At 27 to 29 weeks (6 to 7 months), they can hear some sounds outside your body too, like your voice. By the time they are full term, they will be able to hear at about the same level as an adult.

Detailed explanation-2: -Noise travels through the body to the womb. A baby’s ears develop by about the 20th week of pregnancy. Babies start responding to sounds around the 24th week.

Detailed explanation-3: -For unborn babies, loud noises will sound muffled in the womb. A mother’s body will dampen loud noise and lower the volume before it reaches the developing baby’s ears. The is amniotic fluid filling the middle ear, prevents the eardrum from amplifying sounds as it will once the baby is born.
