Gentle puddle noise
Plash is a gentle splash—the sound or action of water disturbed without violence: the plash of oars, rain plashing against the window.
The word is literary and somewhat old-fashioned, evoking quiet water sounds rather than dramatic ones.
A separate, rare plash means to interlace branches to form a hedge.
