#RIVER DOLPHIN SOUNDS DOWNLOAD#
These may allow cetaceans to ‘see’ fish without the need to use their own echo location – which might alert fish of their presence. Download 166 royalty free Dolphin sounds in MP3 and WAV, for use on your next video or audio project available from Videvo. People have been fascinated by dolphin sounds for millennia. Stephanie Watwood, Postdoctoral Investigator at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution discusses how the variety of sounds bottlenose dolphins make.
For example, in shallow tropical and semi- tropical waters, snapping shrimp product continuous ‘clicking’ noises. Instead of sound passing through the outer ear to the middle ear, river dolphins receive sound through the throat, from which it passes through a low-impedance fat-filled cavity to the inner ear. Ancient Greek mariners listened to the sounds of dolphins through the hulls of their ships. Delphinids produce a variety of sounds, which typically fall into three types: brief echolocation clicks, broad-band burst-pulse sounds, and frequency-modulated whistles. There are many ‘noise’ sources in the ocean that could act to ‘illuminate’ objects with sound that cetaceans detect. Therefore they may be able to convert sound into an acoustic image in a section of their brains which allows them to ‘see’ in the darkness of the ocean, or in the murky waters of river deltas. It is reported that cetaceans have a large portion of their brains devoted to auditory senses. So people can easily hear them with the proper hydrophone ( underwater microphone). While echo location clicks can range up to about 150,000 Hz (about 8 times higher than the normal human hearing range), a lot of these clicks occur at frequencies as low as about 2,000 Hz. These dolphin sounds are well within the hearing range of people. The dolphin makes a ‘click’ which travels through the water, bounces off an object like a fish, and then hears the echo.Ĭhirps: which are tones of varying frequency – their purpose is not known. 28 years Weight 85 kg lbs Length 2-2.6 m ft The South Asian river dolphins are two species of toothed whales in the genus Platanista, both of which live in fresh water habitats in northern South Asia. Echolocation works like radar and is used by dolphins to find food – like schooling fish. Sort of like a sound ‘hand shake’ or greeting.Ĭlicks: which are generally used for some form of echolocation. You often hear a loud whistle from a nearby dolphin, followed by a similar sounding whistle from another dolphin.
It appears that dolphins use these signature whistles like we use names. Whistles: which are unique to each individual animal – much like our own voices. Yet, we still don’t know what ‘they’ are talking about!ĭolphin sounds fall into several main categories: recorded sounds of pink river dolphins boto (inia geoffrensis) and other interesting underwater sounds during mamori sound-project organized by francisco.
