'W' Sounds
Recording of a Speed Queen Industrial Washer in the Blackwell Residence Hall laundry room running a hot water cycle with four quarters inside. A stereo pair of contact mics by JrL were attached to the soap drawer and base of the machine, while a Zoom H4n Handy Recorder with unidirectional stereo mics was held about three inches in front of the porthole (four total audio tracks).
Recording of the water running into a cup full of paint brushes in the sink. After the water was turned off, the paint brushes were being swirled around in a cup half full of water; you can hear the brushes against each other and on the plastic cup.

Sound recording of a electric kettle (Cuckoo) boiling water in Pegram, Duke University. Recorded on an IPhone 5s.
Sound recording of the self-sealing spout of an upright 32 oz. Gatorade Squeeze Water Bottle filled a quarter of the way with water being squeezed to release the air in the bottle. Recorded on a Zoom H4N.
Empty Aquafina water bottle being filled to the top by a Diamond Springs water fountain. Recorded in a quiet, spacious room with an iPhone 6.
Sound recording of water (from rain) dripping slowly on a leaf under the archway in Bell Tower (on East Campus, Duke University). The leaf is in a puddle so it is moving around slowly as the water from the overpass slowly drips into it. The leaf is bowl shaped: it is collecting water slowly. Recorded with Zoom H4N Recorder.
Water from a faucet pouring into a sauce pan to be used for cooking.
Sound recording of water flowing over rocks in a small stream in Jones Gap State Park outside of Greenville, SC. Recorded on an iPhone 5s with accompanying sounds from leaves rustling and birds chirping. The water was flowing back into itself as per it's trajectory flowing off the rocks.
Sound recording a water fountain running. Recorded on an iPhone 5.
In this sound, it is the sound of water running, which was recorded on an iPhone on the second floor of James Cabell Library. This sound of water running can refer to many different ways of use, but in my specific example, it refers to as a foset with running water for people to clean their hands after using the restroom. While for others, that could be the sound of running water that is being filled in the baskets that they use as they are working in the fields.
This was recorded in my bathroom by flipping up the handle to the standard residential faucet and allowing water to run over the drain of the porcelain sink bowl for a few seconds before shutting it off.
