Wow, that's amazing. But it doesn't do much to explain why my ferret keeps chewing on my iPod. And by chewing on it I mean stealing it. And by ferret I mean my neighbor. And by neighbor I mean my wife. And by iPod I mean my beer.

HA HA HA!

Good one

Interesting! So, I guess that explains why beluga whales and tunas get along so well 'cause, like, they'd need a Eventide or equivalent just to talk to one another

beluga whale 1,000-123,000
tuna 50-1,100

Damn go , ya beat me to it.
Looking at Gary's list, and was rather impressed with some of the entries

And thought .. SELF>>>sorry some sad Emeril Lagasse(food channel humor) the whale as got an outrageous frequency rez.. They can make a snapping noise as loud as hell!!
Assuming that water holds a conduction for sounds as it does for electricity?

Wow qo, you've got some nice, serious gear, bubba! It's almost a running list of everything I wish I had.

Dang...

Tonio, LOL

heavypick, but the cost, the cost...no food, no furniture, I mean, I'm (literally) sleeping on a broken down waterbed frame without the water which means, you guessed it, no girlfriend

It's worth it!

I used my oscillator plugin in Logic the other day and was able to hear everything from 22-19500. I guess that's pretty good. I do suffer right around 60Hz and every harmonic thereof. That is due to being on a Navy ship all the time. All you hear all day is 60Hz. Oh yeah, sound underwater is actually more intense because water is a denser medium and allows for better sound propagation. If I were to ping you with my sonar and you were within 100 yards it would rupture your organs and kill you. In case you haven't figured it out, I'm a sonar technician so sound is my job as well as my hobby. There is a lot more I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. With my sonar, of course.
