Comment by JB Owens on April 25, 2013 at 2:32: Hello againJust a quick note on a new file that I have posted. address:http://soundcloud.com/fishsongs/755-life-in-woodpileThe recording was captured by placing a hydrophone about 10 inches deep into an "ageing" mound of woood chips.The mound has a high population of millipedes and I assume that most of the sounds were created by them.High amplification. Low and high frequency limitations.JBSee More

Comment by Jez riley French on June 2, 2012 at 8:35: Hi JB,

what you have there in the underwater recordings are mostly shrimp, possibly some crayfish. Both species make these sounds all the time & they are mostly made in order to stun passing prey or for location.

here are a few more hydrophone recordings for folks to take a listen to:

What were the fish doing when making those sounds? For the 'unknown' sounds I would offer: cattle bellowing, a katydid buzzing, a rooster crowing, a bird singing, and something else that almost sounded like a dog barking but probably wasn't. Which one of those sounds was the 'unknown' one?
