A Roaring, a Grinding and a Sucking

There are some very distinctive noises made by waves as they break and then retreat over shingle.

First comes the low, deep booming roar as the wave breaks and many tons of water come crashing and splashing down.

Then comes the crackling, rushing sound of the water racing inwards.

There is a moment’s lull, like the calm in the eye of the storm, before the water all races out again, with a curious loud rattling and sucking noise.

I think the picture above is quite aural. As I look at it, I feel as if I can actually hear the noises. Does it do that for you?

Cheers, Tom.
