Which water sounds are free in Hush?

How were these levels measured?
Each sound was measured in one-octave bands centred from 2 to 12 kHz, the range Hush uses for pitch matching. A level is given in decibels relative to that sound's overall level, so it shows the shape of a sound, not how loud it plays. The figures come from Hush 1.0.0 (9).
