What exactly is it that makes the noise of waves on the shore?
In: Physics
It is the sound of the physical impact of water molecules hitting the beach and, far more importantly, other water molecules.
Unless the waves are strong enough to cause water to Crest and then fall back down into the ocean, you are not going to get very much sound from a beach. The water merely sloshing back and forth in small non-cresting waves makes very little sound at all.
