We consider the system obtained by D. J. Benney-G. J. Roskes and V. E. Zakharov-A. M. Rubenchik to model the interaction of low amplitude high frequency waves with low frequency, acoustic type waves. We reduce it to a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with nonlinear terms involving nonlocal terms and derivatives of the unknown. Using various smoothing effects associated to the Schrödinger group and the structure of the nonlinearity we prove that the Cauchy problem is locally well-posed in $H^s(\mathbb R^n), s>n/2$ where $n=2,3$.
