There where North Sea and River Schelde come together, where the estuary is 6 km wide a lot of (about 25 in this recording) seagoing ships travel to there destination in the night. 
The ship engines create a deep humming sound around the water. Sometimes the deep rumble drown down the sound of the waves of the low tide sea with there 15 cm low waves.
All these ships diesel engines sounds as far thunder.
This recording is not Equalized. It is what I recorded.
The SW 3 bft wind is coming from the sea, directly from the esuary.
