The sounds that dolphins make play a special role in the communication of these animals. In its natural environment, a dolphin, for example, can tell other individuals about nets, other hazards, or a place to eat their favorite food. The distance over which the animal transmits information is calculated in thousands of kilometers. The dolphin makes many sounds, some of them even look like beautiful singing.
Instructions
Step 1
Most often, dolphins make sounds similar to squeaks or whistles. With the help of a whistle, animals communicate with each other, call the cubs and accompany their games. Whistles can be short and last a few seconds. The frequency of these sounds can also vary. For example, if a dolphin is in danger, then it emits a long and loud whistle.
Step 2
One of the most interesting sounds made by dolphins is the so-called crackling sound. The animal can make clicks, sounds that resemble a knock. If the frequency of the clicks increases, an unusual crackling sound is produced. Scientists note that dolphins knock and rattle most often during games or eating.
Step 3
The most unusual sound that a dolphin makes is a scream that resembles a roar or a shrill howl. Animals scream very rarely and do it mainly when there is a serious danger.
Step 4
Scientists have been studying dolphins for decades. It has been proven, for example, that dolphins can copy other people's sounds. So, if an animal hears female laughter for some time, then it will not be difficult for him to repeat it. Likewise, a dolphin can copy even the sound of a racing motorcycle and noise in a stadium.
Step 5
Researchers are trying to learn the language of dolphins by compiling special dictionaries, recording their voices. Thanks to special observations, it has been proven that dolphins of different species differ in their own set of tunes.
Step 6
It is noteworthy that dolphins do not make sounds with their mouths, as it might seem at first glance. They do this with the back of the head, where the blowhole is located. Dolphins are very sociable and friendly, they are happy to reproduce almost any sound at the command of their trainers or trainers.
