SMALL RAINDROP ANIMATION - When a small raindrop falls on the ocean, it produces sound underwater by its impact on the ocean surface and, more importantly, by sound created from a bubble trapped underwater during its splash. Different raindrop sizes produce distinctive sounds. When recorded underwater, small raindrops make a sound like a hiss. The following animation is first simulated as a real-time small raindrop, and then slowed down to demonstrate the distinct sound of impact and the subsequent ring of the higher frequency sound made by the bubble.
