Secret Underwater Sounds

How can we engage our hearing to connect more deeply with nature around us?

The grunts of fish and sharp clicks of marine shrimp, or the zizzing soundscapes of freshwater streams and

ponds - listening underwater reveals a whole new world of environmental sound.

Using hydrophones (special microphones to hear underwater), we can explore water bodies for the hidden life

they are home to.

Likewise, these microphones can be used to listen to organisms in the soil or within trees.

These activities are particularly fascinating to children, as they begin exploring, with headphones on, the

world around them.
