The underwater summer sound of a small pond in a village in the Netherlands.
The cricket / rasping sound comes from a tiny water insect called Lesser Water Boatman, a backswimmer ( Micronecta Scholtzi, Corixa punctata ). One of the noisiest animals on earth compared to its body size. More info about how this animal makes this sound: https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/news/center/articles/2011/bbc-06-30-2011.html

The sound that resembles a dripping water tap is the sound of oxygen produced by the aquatic plants as a result of the sunshine. Sometimes gas also comes out of the bottom, but that is only for a short time.
