Abstract
The underwater sound radiated from the splashes of individual water droplets is correlated with the development of the splash. The observed instantaneous sound pressure and the spectrum of the sound energy radiated into the water are compared with theory. The spectra of the sound energy from a large number of individual splashes of droplets of various sizes and velocities are plotted in dimensionless form and compared with a similar dimensionless spectrum obtained from data on the rms sound pressure from a spray of water droplets. An expression is given for the sound pressure spectrum level of the sound to be expected from sprays on the surface in terms of the intensity of the spray, the size and velocity of the droplets in the spray, and the configuration of the spray area on the surface. Estimates are made of the spectrum levels of the underwater sound from the splashing of rain on the surface of a sea in terms of the rate of rainfall.
