Is this okay?

I hope I can go back to the beach soon. The gentle whoosh of the breeze that ran of the gray water is still ringing in my ears. I hope I can go back to the beach soon.

Did you mean to make sentences 1 and 3 identical? I don't think it works.
Also, "ran of the grey water" doesn't make sense.

No it was a typo.

If not, what can I say instead of "ran off"?

Ringing in the ears is usually painful. Otherwise, it's fine.

Doesn't this work?

The sound of her sweet laughter is still ringing in my ears.

Can I use hum or echo there?
