Sound from a hydraulophone (underwater or water-filled musical instrument) where the sound originates from vibrations in water.
Dolphins and porpoises do not produce hydraulophonic sound, i.e. they breathe in air from the surface, and use the air to "originate" the sound which subsequently travels through the water. Divers signal each other by banging rocks together which produces idiophonic sound that subsequently travels through water. But hydraulophones make sound hydraulophonically, such that when played underwater, the sound originates in the same medium in which it subsequently propagates.

Solarpunk is a movement focused on a positive, ecological vision for a future where technology is used for human-centric and ecocentric purposes. It is a literary, artistic and aesthetic sub-genre and is also closely tied to eco-political activism. Solarpunk narratives have a distinctly positive and utopian foundation in contrast to the often dystopian visions found within other "punk" science fiction genres.
Solarpunk is a literary movement, a hashtag, a flag, and a statement of intent about the future we hope to create.
