There isnt much of ambient noise in the water.
As a scuba diver i only hear the sound of waves when they break the shore if iam close to the shore.
But then at the deep and further out in the sea you dont hear anything more than your own breathing.
All noise/sound you hear is created by humans. Like ships.
its quite amazing that you can hear a ship from real far away and you get the illusion of that you are real close to it but then when you surface and se the ship 1-3 km away.
But i dunno how it would sound thru a hydrophone that magnifie the sound. if you hear background noise. I guess its dependant how close to surface you are and what weather conditions there is. Stormy weather i think could produce some background noise.
