Hydrophonic buzz Explanation: This is a strange term, and as someone who knows nothing of physics, let alone of sonars, I can't say if it is real or made up by the writer (although it does make sense, in terms of hydro=water and phonic= sound, so sound that travels in the water). What I can say is that you want to avoid the word "rumor", so I would use "buzz" or even "noise". |

hydrophone noise Explanation: From Wikipedia: A hydrophone (Ancient Greek: ὕδωρ + φωνή, lit. 'water + sound') is a microphone designed to be used underwater for recording or listening to underwater sound. Most hydrophones are based on a piezoelectric transducer that generates an electric potential when subjected to a pressure change, such as a sound wave. Some piezoelectric transducers can also serve as a sound projector, but not all have this capability, and some may be destroyed if used in such a manner. |
