The Sound of Sperm Whales | WHALEZONE.TV 

Smh they're having a private conversation and we're all just eavesdropping

Imagine how terrifying it would be to here this when you have no idea it was a sperm whale.

Actually, my best friend is a whale, I don't know, when we met we just clicked.

sounds like my belly after a proper meal

A friend of mine once went diving to investigate a problem his employer was having with a pipe. While following the pipe, they stumbled on a pod of sperm whales that were doing this same thing; greeting their newborn baby. The whales slowly got closer to the divers and, basically invited them into their pod. One even tried to share a squid it had killed, laying it on the ground next to them. My friend took a piece of it back home with him. The baby quickly started investigating and playing with them. Mom had to step in when they started getting rowdy. The divers eventually ran out of air. The baby continued to play with them while they detoxed (waiting near the surface of the water for about 15 minutes, to allow their body to remove the nitrogen that built up in their blood.) They changed their tanks and got right back in, playing with them all the way back down. This happened for about 3 hours a day, the next 5 days. All happening while searching and fixing the pipe. To this day, they spend a bit of time together when the pod is in the area. It's even believed that the whales have warded off a few shark attacks. They have returned those favors whenever possible; cutting fishing line off the whales.

Mildly infuriating that this sound is supposedly the loudest made by any living thing yet its so tame in every recording :(

Louder than a jackhammer and a jet engine. The loudest sound known to man is the sperm whale, with a damning 200+ decibel sound complex. It would literally kill you to hear the high notes, so to speak.

Imagine diving deep into the ocean, looking down and seeing a black abyss, then start to hear an annoying clicking sound..

pov: you just watched daily dose of internet's video and now you're here

Bruh putting my phone at the loudest volume already low key hurts my ears imagine bing there! Next to them! Especially since this is not even their loudest!

the sounds made my cat crawl next to me and sleep. wtf

Sperm Whales are amazing creatures.

Lol one of my gerbils was very fascinated by this when I played it quietly in my room, he sat right up at the front of his tank and stared intently for a while, and sniffed the air.

How didn’t you die under there? Those sounds can literally vibrate you to death!

The sound seems low but the original one is loud

They sound like an old swing set..

It sounds like teeth grinding 🤨

Sounds like your gaining RADS in fallout 4

I heard that the clicks are so powerful that they can kill a huma

They are so majestic, swimming in glory.

I bet most of you didn't know that some of those sounds are so loud that when close enough can vibrate a human to death.

I like the sound of them, they are fantastic creatures!

MY EARS ARE ACTUALLY HURTING RN

Dude I swear the sound is so satisfying

This is where they found the sfx for the clickers in The Last of Us.

Little baby looks so uncoordinated swimming. At the beginning it looked like it was having difficulty trying to breathe and swim. Thankfully momma and escorts were able to prop baby up to help it.

I didn't even realize that sound was the whales at first. It doesn't even sound like it should be a loud noise. To me it sounds like creaking wood. So surreal

Me trying to sneakily open the door to kitchen at 3 AM.

This is such an asmr 👀

this is what I imagine it sounds like when I think about tendons or muscles ripping

Do you have about 10 hours of this? I will PAY for it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sound like a door creaking *huh?*

If this went viral, would we take better care of the oceans and their stunning diversity? One can dream...

This is a terrifying sound. If I was another creature, hearing these clicks I’d feel like I was going crazy. Sounds like an alien species getting ready to kill us all.

This might be my favorite video on the internet.

Sounds like my stomach after eating pop rocks

Thats the sound when you try sneaking back home at 3 AM and your parents are asleep.

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! IT IS NOT OFTEN WE GET TO HEAR THEIR RECORDINGS! Oh, it's absolutely beautiful, it brings tears to my eyes! I'm trying to be welcomed into their pod by being pelted by the most sophisticated form of sonar and communication on earth. This is so beautiful, they sound like human women, excited about the new baby! I must ask, is whale sonar and clicks considered military secrets?

Baby Sperm Whale for 3 years: “Wtf are y’all saying????”

That's such a beautiful thing

this is so relaxing lol

whales are truly the most majestic creatures on earth

now, this is supposed to be 230db. (note that 150db is enough to burst your ear drums)

Amazing!

Those are some big bois, lol. Wow...

So intelligently created

A sound of Sperm Whale can reach up to 236 dB. It means it's the loudest animal in the world.

There is something terrifying but amazing abou this

Amazing animals

Why does it sound so satisfying 😂

Fun fact: If you heard this is real life, your ears and lungs would burst

This made my ears ring through the phone

They sure are huddled close!

Deadly sound

*doors creeks* me: “who there?” 😂

I’m listening on my EarPods and I almost died watching

Reading Moby Dick. It's sad these beautiful creatures were hunted, yet the author obviously really admired them based on his descriptions of them.

Relaxing sounds of the streets of Britain 🇬🇧

Sounds like a old door opening and closing

They're not kidding when they said that the clicks are very loud

He didn't die because he is the *Cameraman*

Im glad whales evolved to go into the ocean. Imagine walking somewhere in early history then all of the sudden this massive behemoth sounds off at 230db

Omg such good asmr

probably they are that loud and angry because they have been given the name

It sounds like a metal detector, lol

Fun fact: these sounds are 230 decibels, meaning that they can shatter your eardrums if you are too close.

in real life, these sounds are so loud they can kill humans.

Whales be like: "Yo..we goin on a trip so make sure you'll bring your tents not eat them"

So my astronomy teacher told me one day that there's no such thing as a dumb question, and that you should always ask what you're curious about. So if this seems like something that's rather obvious to you, my apologies lol.. But since these creatures are known to be the loudest animals, how do divers protect themselves underwater while filming these interactions? As far as their ears/hearing goes. Thank you in advance for any info you can provide!

I make those very same sounds every morning...

It sounds just like my door creaking

Is that how it really sounds underwater or did he just made it louder so we can hear it?

Kinda satisfying

Pearl and her whale family reunite for the first time since she was three years old (2020 colorized)

Lol for the first two seconds I thought someone just opened my bedroom door….

that’s crazy

These guys killed there ears for this video

Sounds like stretching a rubber

this is the most primitiv form of ASMR

Wow 😳😳

is very relax

Sounds like someone struggling to open a bottle

1:55 Are they showing themselves to the calf, to ensure it knows the family member's markings etc.? Very cute/eye-opening, either way.

Me walking downstairs in the middle of the night

I love whales

sounds like ropes on a swing stretching

how do they make this sound?

Sounds like a gear turning

Mama and aunts sound like creaky doors.

Ngl I thought we would been dead after hearing that 💀

Smarter than us Elders to us all

Great now I’m dead

Sounds to me like they’re rippin’ mean ones

Me walking down my stairs at 3am be like

Alternitive thumbnail: blue whale does asmr

The Sperm Whales are well aware of their sonar, communication and hunting abilities. They can target and fine tune their clicks accordingly. Much how we can talk quietly or shout our heads off. I gather they were have a quiet chat. They can also use their sonar as a weapon to stun or kill. But also to see inside like an ultrasound at a hospital. Tests showed on dolphins and orcas. Showed they can be given to objects of the same size, shape and color and immediately identify which is which by using their sonar.

big beautiful submarines

They’re just talking in Morse code x)

Slow it down as much as your video player will allow, and listen to it loud . . . it is so complex! And we can't even hear the subsonic and ultra-sonic ranges.

Whale asmr
