In 1.5 hours, i'll have to disappear for 24h. Therefor, a small hint: Its important to find out the type and purpose of the machine making the sound.

[Xanatos Roulette]

Hmm I think I have it.

Spoiler:

The woman heard a helicopter hovering overhead. It was a firefighting type refilling its tanks at the lake. She was caught in the intake nozzel and drowned.

[Giogio]

Hmm, I think you don't have it. That one's the solution to another y/n riddle ;-P

[Akonyl]

machine, eh?

Spoiler:

Eva was swimming. Then someone shot her with a gun in the arm. She could no longer swim and then drowned, so that the other people didn't kill her directly. :V

[eworm]

Spoiler:

Eva was swimming when a motorboat hit her out of a sudden, hurt her - and that's why she drowned, unable to swim with the injury

[Giogio]

Hi,

I'm back  now.

Eworm and Akonyl, both your answers are false. The answer is more tricky - it wouldnt have the chance to become my favourite y/n riddle otherwise (-;

[Giogio]

Maybe another hint:

Spoiler:

In any situation you would think of right now, the machine would not be deadly or cause injury.
