52 Hertz Whale Sound Download

Scientists at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution have been unable to identify the species of the whale. They speculate that it could be malformed or a blue whale hybrid.[7] The research team is often contacted by deaf people who wonder whether the whale may also be deaf.[9]

Whatever biological cause underlies its unusually high-frequency voice does not seem to be detrimental to its survival. The whale's survival and apparent maturity indicate it is probably healthy. Still, its call is the only one of its kind detected anywhere and there is only one such source per season.[8] Because of this, the animal has been called the loneliest whale in the world.[5][10][11]

The 52-hertz whale was discovered by a team from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Its call was first detected in 1989, then again in 1990 and 1991.[8] In 1992, following the end of the Cold War, the U.S. Navy partially declassified the recordings and technical specifications of its SOSUS anti-submarine hydrophone arrays, and made SOSUS available for oceanographic research.[6][7] As of 2014[update], the whale had been detected every year since.[12]

The animated short film The Phantom 52 premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2019. The film was written and directed by Geoff Marslett, and stars Tom Skerritt as the loneliest whale. [14]

Montreal-based saxophone player and composer Colin Stetson's 2013 album New History Warfare Vol. 3: To See More Light included a song entitled "Part of Me Apart From You". Though not explicitly written about the 52-hertz whale, when first performing the song live, he has remarked on at least several occasions that the story of the "loneliest whale" resonated deeply with his composition. "This whale is alone in a large body of water, swimming, singing its song, calling for a likeness it will never find," he said by way of introducing the song at a performance at Toronto's Great Hall on 19 May 2013. "When I play this song, I can't help but think about this whale, who right at this very minute is singing alone."[21]

South Korean group BTS's 2015 album The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Pt. 2 includes the track "Whalien 52", which explicitly uses the 52-hertz whale as a metaphor for the alienation from others often felt by adolescents.[22]

The English folk duo Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman included the song "52 Hertz" on their 2015 album Tomorrow Will Follow Today. The song is about the whale and includes the line, "52 Hertz, 52 Hertz, I'm singing a love song that no-one can hear" in the chorus.[23]

In 2020, Japanese novelist Sonoko Machida published the novel 52-Hertz Whales, in which the anomalous whale serves as a metaphor for "voiceless" lonely people who find each other by chance.[24]

In 2014, American writer Leslie Jamison published an essay in The Atavist Magazine about the 52-hertz whale's popular appeal as a metaphor for loneliness and perseverance.[25] The piece was later included in Jamison's 2019 essay collection Make It Scream, Make It Burn.[26]

The humpback song, which is made up of repeated themes, can last for up to 30 minutes and some humpbacks sing for hours at a time! Only the males sing and all male humpbacks in the same region sing the same song. The song itself changes over time, making it different from year to year. The songs generally occur during the breeding season, suggesting that they are related to breeding. But researchers are still asking why do male humpbacks sing?

Whale Hearing

In addition to singing, humpbacks also hear well. Sound is exceptionally important to marine mammals living in the ocean (a very noisy place). Hearing is a well-developed sense in all cetaceans, largely because of the sensitive reception of waterborne vibrations through bones in the head. Take a look at the size of a whale's head compared to its entire skeleton. You will notice that the head comprises up to one third of the total body length. The whale ear is a tiny opening that closes underwater. The bone structure of the middle and inner ears is modified from that of terrestrial (land-based) mammals to accommodate hearing underwater.

Let's Dissect the Song

Humpback whales produce moans, grunts, blasts and shrieks. Each part of their song is made up of sound waves. Some of these sound waves are high frequency. If you could see these sounds, they would look like tall, pointed mountains. Whales also emit low frequency sound waves. These waves are like hills that are wide spread apart. These sound waves can travel very far in water without losing energy. Researchers believe that some of these low frequency sounds can travel more than 10,000 miles in some levels of the ocean!

Sound frequencies are measured in units called Hertz. The range of frequencies that whales use are from 30 Hertz (Hz) to about 8,000 Hz, (8 kHZ). Humans can only hear part of the whales' songs. We aren't able to hear the lowest of the whale frequencies. Humans hear low frequency sounds starting at about 100 Hz.

Whale Songs Similar to Other Animals

Researchers have noted that whale songs sound very similar to the songs of hoofed animals, such as. Elk (bugleing), cattle (mooing), and have more than a passing resemblance to some of the elephant noises. One of the leading researchers into humpback whale sounds, Katy Payne, also studies elephant sounds and has found similarities between these two species.

Where are Sounds Produced?

The larynx was originally thought to be the site of sound production in cetaceans but experiments on live, phonating dolphins showed that the larynx does not move during vocalizations. Instead there are structures in the nasal system including the nasal plug and the elaborate nasal sac system which move when sound is produced, although the exact site of the sound generation is still debated. You can read more about this fascinating subject in book called BIOLOGY OF MARINE MAMMALS, by Reynolds and Rommel.

Zeman says it was these intense responses that inspired his new documentary The Loneliest Whale: The Search for 52, which is available to stream Friday. In the film, he chronicles a years-long search for the creature experts told him would be "nearly impossible" to track down.

"It's really interesting to go out there and to try and go on a quest," he said. "When we tried to get the film funded ... all these investors would say, 'Can you guarantee you can find the whale?' And I was like, 'No, that's the whole point. This is a real quest, an honest-to-goodness mystery.'"

While the 52 hertz whale remains something of a mystery, Zeman says constant disruptions from larger, ocean-going vessels made it abundantly clear that the creature they were chasing is imperilled. And he says the threats it faces are one thing it has in common with all whales.

"Whales are social beings," veterinarian Vint Virga says in the documentary. "The fact that nobody is responding to him [means] absolutely, without a doubt, this whale is lonely. And that's not being anthropomorphic."

"If we want to be better stewards of this world, then the goal, the trick is to listen. And that's also the trick to never being lonely is to learn how to listen, because if you can listen, you will always connect with people. And so I learned to listen. And I hope that everybody else learns that same lesson as well, because it's an important one."

If nobody could hear you, would you still exist? Would you have had a piece of your own history in this vast earth? If whales can think and contemplate, then these are probably the existential questio...

For those uninitiated in the tale of the 52 hertz whale, in 1989 a team from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution heard a particularly unusual whale call, unlike anything that had been heard before or since. Picked up on sensors across the Pacific Ocean, the whale call came in at 52 hertz, far higher than any whale species known to follow its migration pattern. Its movement has similarities to that of blue whales, but blue whales have a frequency range of 10 to 39 Hz, with dominant frequencies of 16 to 28 Hz, according to the bioacoustics research program at Cornell University. 152ee80cbc
