I like the sound of the wooden ones.

@Azlotto They can be quite restful.
A public gardens not far from my town has a water version in a small stream flowing through it, but with only one tube it is not very interesting and seems rather silly.
It consists of a pivoted bamboo that fills with water from a small weir. When it is full it over-balances, empties with a gentle splash and clonk sound; and swings back up to start again.

@Azlotto I don't know if anyone has done it (I expect they have!) but you could make the water "flop-jacks" with several tubes of different volumes.
The tubes would have different periods and make slightly different sounds when they operate, so the effect would be a subtly-changing but set pattern of sploshes and clonks that eventually repeats itself.
