Evidence

The mere fact that water sounds differently when played on different surfaces and materials could be a subject of rich inventions. Imagine a specially contrived parterre, fashioned out of all kinds of materials—woods, bamboos, metals, scalloped stones, shells—arranged with sounding boxes beneath them, under such a common natural event as a rainstorm. — Schafer, Murray R, The Soundscape- Our Sonic Environment…, 838
