I estimate 4,320 waves a day if the waves come in at one for every three seconds
56743298 waves crashed

A seismograph is an instrument used to measure seismic waves in the earth's crust. In other words a seismograph detects earthquakes. A tsunami occurs when there is an earthquake at sea. The earthquake causes colossal tidal waves to form and the waves crash onto shore. This is a tsunami.
There are countless descriptions of the sounds waves make. They can crash onto the shore, they can boom, they can lap, they can have a sibilant or fricative whisper. There is no specific name for the sounds made by waves, only metaphors.
Waves approach a shore obliquely (at an angle) due to the effects or the tides, currents the coriolis effect etc. and then retreat due to gravity straight. A good analogue is to roll a marble up a slope at an angle; it will fall more linearly on its return. Hope this helps.
Just divide the number of cycles (the 16 waves) by the number of seconds.
If the tsunami is caused by an earthquake, a slight rumble can be heard, and the ground might shake. As the waves approach shore, the water near the shore will recede dramatically, leaving fish, seaweed coral and such like. (following a 'sucking* sound'). A clear rumble should be heard. The fast moving waves will start to get higher as the seafloor gets shallower near the coastline. This forms a 20m wall of waves (a tsunami) and the waves will crash onto shore and rush inland. Sometimes, warnings are given to the country and surrounding countries. *Note that 'sucking' means being sucked in, and is not a vulgarity.
If 19 waves crash onto a beach every 34.9 seconds, then that would mean a wave crashed in about every 1.83 seconds. Over the course of one minute, about 33 waves would crash onto the beach.

Waves typically affect the shoreline by eroding it. Constant forces of water against the shore make it weak, and will break down the rocks over time. Waves also bring animals from the sea onto the shore,

waves crashing "like hands of the sea pounding on the seashore"
It's the pull of the moon that determines the tide pull. When it's low tide, and the waves are pulling back from the shore, it means that the Moon is starting to pull away from the Earth. The Moon's cycle pulls away, and comes back over and over in one day. That's what low and high tide are. When the waves are crashing to the shore, it means that the pull of gravity from the Moon is making the waves crash onto the shore. It all depends on the pull of the Moon, and the effect it has on the waves gravity.
