Water noise is increased by allowing water to fall farther.

Sound level is determined by 2 factors ( I did not look at the picture): the distance the water falls and an echo chamber behind the water.

I've not seen this one in operation, but we have owned several different types of indoor tabletop water type units. I can tell you that none I know of are meant to create the sound of rushing water or splashing, tumbling water, as one might find with an outside fountain. If they did, you'd find water in a lot of places you wouldn't want it.

If the pump is adjustable (some are not), then the best you can do is try increasing the flow until you get the desired effect. It may not happen. Then gain, it may. Rock placement won't play a large part in the resulting sound, although it will obviously change the directioni of flow.

how about a recoding of water falling moving played at whaever volume you want?

it would make me have to pee:(

Call some of the surrounding towns. See if you can borrow some hard water. Louder when it hits the bottom. Soft water just doesn't do it.

Hi, That thing is too SMALL to create good sound effect. If you increase flow too much it'll splash all over. We use mini pond indoor hich ives good sound and humidity during winter months.

Sorry to hear that.

You seriously thought that $40 piece of Chinese Walmart crap was going to give you the desired effect? Heh.. I've got a great deal on some land in Floriday I'd like to sell you.
