Summary:

"low-amplitude, broadband, and frequency-modulated high-pitched laryngeal twittering ultrasonic calls [...] are proposed to be used for simple and close-range spatial orientation. / 01.12.25 14:59 The little pops you hear when people translate these nocturnal calls ar e not actually the calls themselves. What you are really hearing is the sound of someone catching and eating insects. / 29.11.25 13:16 vocalisations form a complex combinatorial communication system: the seemingly arbitrary inventory of coda types can be explained by combinations of rhythm, tempo, rubato, and ornamentation features. Sizable combinatorial vocalisation systems are exceedingly rare in nature / 27.11.25 13:35 And some of them actually adjust the pitch of their calls on the fly to cancel out the Doppler-effect caused by their own movement. As they speed forward, the echoes coming back shift to a higher frequency. So they lowers the frequency of its outgoing call just right, so the returning echo always lands in the narrow frequency band its ears are most sensitive to. / 26.11.25 21:08 They could also localize pure tones of 5 kHz and lower, thereby demonstrating the use of interaural time-differences, despite their very small maximum interaural distance of 60 μs./ 26.11. 25 20:50 Individuals have to learn the language from another close individual or from the community. I imagine groups of the young ones learning it together, stuttering, mispronouncing, repeating the same word or sentence over and over again, for fun or simply to keep the taste of that novelty in their mouths. /26.11.25 6:26 One solution, is to temporarily deafen themselves during call emission, reserving their best hearing sensitivity for the period between calls. 25.11.25 22:40 Of the three sounds you hear, only one is the voice; the other two are reflections echoed by the bottom and the surface. /25.11.25 19:03 There is also the idea of them being unwilling light bringers, since they were cruelly used for centuries as lamp fuel. /25.11.25 06:30 Multiple people reported seeing them arriving at the small port of the place where I came from. I believe this was in the 60s. Others tell stories of them getting caught in their hair by mistake, especially if the hair was long or curly. / 25.11.25 05:52 The duty cycle of a periodic sound is the proportion of time spent emitting signals. / 24. 11. 25 22:31 They follow directly after two high squeals. The basic notes of this low sound are actually complex pulses of sound. The low rate at which the pulses follow one another creates the effect of a very low-frequency tone. / 24.11.25 15:06 the majority of nasal emitters project sound through a specialised fleshy nose-leaf / 23. 11. 25 11:30 It moves in a transparent solution that assumes the colour of its surroundings. / 23.11.25 9:30"-- provided by distributor.
