After Valentine Worthington and William E. Schevill confirmed the existence of sperm whale vocalization, [89] further studies found that sperm whales are capable of emitting sounds at a source level of 230 decibels – making the sperm whale the loudest animal in the world. [119]
Every toothed whale except the sperm whale has two sets of phonic lips and is thus capable of making two sounds independently. [29] Once the air has passed the phonic lips it enters the vestibular sac. From there, the air may be recycled back into the lower part of the nasal complex, ready to be used for sound creation again, or passed out ...
The various species of whales inhabiting Earth's oceans employ different types of vocalizations to communicate. Sperm whales, the largest of the toothed whales, communicate using bursts of ...
Like other whales, the male fin whale has been observed to make long, loud, low-frequency sounds. [19]Most sounds are frequency-modulated (FM) down-swept infrasonic pulses from 16 to 40 hertz frequency (the range of sounds that most humans can hear falls between 20 hertz and 20 kilohertz).
Scientists studying the sperm whales that live around the Caribbean island of Dominica have described for the first time the basic elements of how they might be talking to each other, in an effort ...
Researchers of chatty creatures like bats, bees, songbirds and whales gather many hours of sound or video recordings and then plug that data into AI language models, the way we might with tools ...
Upsweep is an unidentified sound detected on the American NOAA's equatorial autonomous hydrophone arrays. This sound was present when the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory began recording its sound surveillance system, SOSUS, in August 1991. It consists of a long train of narrow-band upsweeping sounds of several seconds in duration each.
Project CETI is an international initiative to understand the acoustic communication of sperm whales using advances in artificial intelligence. [1] [2] The project has an interdisciplinary scientific board including marine biologists, artificial intelligence researchers, roboticists, theoretical computer scientists, and linguists.
