  The sounds produced by flowing water in a river are primarily due to the turbulent movement of water and the interaction of water with the riverbed and obstacles. These interactions create vibrations and pressure waves that our ears perceive as sound. Specifically, factors like the velocity of the water, the shape of the riverbed (including rocks and bends), and the presence of obstructions all contribute to the complexity of the sound.
