Another Sound Experiment - on the Beach

I hadn't realised how the sound of walking to the water's edge describes what the beach is like. There is a clear difference between the sound generated from bands of stones lying on firm sand, and the loosely banked pebbles that slip easily when walked on. The gentle noise from the waves tells how insignificant they were in size, and you can tell how far out the tide was by how long it took to walk there. Who needs cameras?
