I'm not a sound pro. These sea sounds are recorded with a simple smartphone and exported as wav files. If you do not want the wind noise on the microphone, it is stereo so you can remove the "windy" track if you do not want it. All free to use, no credit required. Enjoy and go create something fabulous!.
