Understanding of environmental characteristic is a key factor in design of communication system. This paper describes an ambient noise characterization of measurement in the shallow water of Surabaya bay. The result showed that probability density function (pdf) of ambient noise is close to a Gaussian distribution with the mean of −2.85×10−5 V, and deviation standard of 9.87×10−4V. Validation has been done by using mean square error (MSE) and Bhattacharya distance. In the frequency domain analysis, it is showed that in the range of 0 ∲ 9 kHz has a deceasing level from −100 until −140 dB. In the frequency of 9 ∲ 13.5 kHz, the spectral is flat as like a white. It can be used as a reference in decision of range frequency of underwater acoustic communication systems that will be applied.
