Why does hitting h2o with pee sound different than hitting the ceramic. I'm not familiar with acoustics so If someone could explain I'd appreciate it.

Water consists of a bunch of loosely connected molecules, so the individual molecules "clash" with each other when you urinate in the bowl (causing a large displacement in the form of sound waves) vs urinating on the side of the bowl, where the particles are solidly connected and the urine simply "slides" off.

Sound is more when the surrounding air around the place where pee hits is disturbed more, water molecules can vibrate more to disturb the air more than the ceramic molecules. reduction of KE of pee is also more in case of hitting water, than in case of hitting ceramic.

KE in the pee creates sound by turbulance and dissipates........in later case KE is dissipated on the rugged wall.
