They passed through several levels this time, and the sound of the water faded.

So she never went back, even after the sounds of battle had faded.

In a little while, the sound of its engine faded on the night.

A silence followed, as if the sound of the sea had faded.

In a few moments the sound of his steps had faded.

But eventually the sound of battle faded, as she had known it would.

The sound passed over but did not fade into the distance.

The sound of their argument faded as they moved away.

The light was bright, but the sound did not fade.

The sound of water faded away to nothing or grew again, by turns.
