Tsunami sound effects sit inside a wider natural disaster collection, where the ground does most of the shouting. Earthquakes from faint shivers to huge quakes, rockslides from a few stones to a whole hillside, avalanches, volcanoes and burning buildings. Big, low rumbles. Under a wall of water, they give a tsunami its weight.
A tsunami on screen is rarely just water. The roar of the wave gets layered over an Earthquake rumble and a Landslide of grinding rock, which is where these recordings come in. The low end of a quake carries the sense of something enormous arriving, long before the water reaches the shore.
