sounds weird .. like an idling motor of sorts .. ( must be a youtube of it .. i did't get to record the radio sample ) ~ http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_8320000/8320414.stm ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Along with colleagues Dr Gustav Peters and Dr Megan Owen, Prof Rogers has also studied in detail a particular behaviour of bears, known as "humming". While humming, bears will exhale producing a series of between nine and 15 loud sounds a second. When they reach the end of each breath, they quickly and silently inhale, before exhaling loudly again, continuing the humming sound. As yet, it is unclear why bears do this. All bear species hum in this way, apart from giant pandas. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IP: Logged |
