Water sounds come in two broad kinds. Moving water, such as a river, a creek or a waterfall, is a continuous rush that stays level and covers a lot of ground. Tidal water, such as ocean waves or a shoreline, rises and falls at a slow pace, a little like breathing. A few sounds add a place and a story, such as a harbor, a ship's cabin or an underwater hum. When you choose, ask whether you want a flat cover or a gentle movement. Narrow streams are lighter and brighter. Broad rivers and open seas are deeper, with more weight in the low end.
