Water Sound Effects
Water sound effects for anything wet. Rivers, streams and mountain creeks. Lakes lapping at the shore, ocean waves, caves and lagoons. Splashes, bubbles, drips. Then there's underwater, which is a whole world of its own, and designed water for games and anything a bit stranger. Water turns up in more scenes than you'd think, and people notice when it sounds fake.

Where do I start?
Tell us what you are making and we will narrow it down for you. Or start from a recordist whose work you already know. Some release here and nowhere else.
Can I use these commercially?
