This audio recording takes us into the mysterious underwater world of the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton. As you listen, the unique equipment called a hydrophone, which is a microphone designed to be used underwater, allows you to hear sounds that are usually hidden beneath the water's surface. The recording begins with the soothing, steady flow of the river, creating a sense of calmness and continuity. You can hear the water currents gently swirling, and every so often, the soft, yet distinct, sound of water droplets falling. Deep beneath the surface, there are also intermittent, rhythmic sounds resembling heartbeats, which could likely be the sounds produced by fish as they move and communicate. There's a sense of a vibrant, busy community of aquatic life, all humming, pulsating, and clicking in a language all their own. Every once in a while, high pitched, faint squeaking and clicking noises can be heard. These could potentially be the sounds of smaller aquatic creatures
