Hey Quiet Down There
Jeez you move to the coast to get a little peace and quiet. Hear the sound of the surf, the wind in the trees that sort of thing. Oh sure you expect to hear the occasional foghorn, after all that’s part of the mystique, but to be awakened by the sound of fish fucking now that’s just going too far
Coastal-dwellers accused of insanity when they claimed they could “hear the fish” have been vindicated by research showing that fish indeed make sounds audible to humans, reports the New York Times. An investigation into the “eerie thumps” spooking residents of Cape Coral, Florida found that the sound was coming from schools of black drum that had made a spawning ground out of area canals. At 100-500 hertz, the sound was low enough to travel through sea walls and into the ground. Residents of Sausalito, California and Block Island, Rhode Island had similar problems with loudly amorous toadfish and jackhammer-like striped cusk eels, respectively.(more…)
