That sounds like it could have been one of the background sounds in Led
Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love".  ;)

Seriously though, has anyone tried to duplicate this effect yet? I don't
have access to seawater in my area, and I'm not sure if table salt would
work the same way. The basic idea seems too weird to actually work. I
haven't any idea what phenomenon was actually causing the signal in that
recording. Does anyone know how it works?
