What are the sounds a dolphin can produce?
A. All dolphins and whales can produce complex sounds, both for communication among them and for navigation under water. The common dolphin can hear sounds upwards of 150 KHz but generally produce sounds ranging from 1.5 to 11.0 KHZ. Patterns of sounds can be observed, mostly clicking, moans, whistles, trills, and squeaks. Males can whistle to get the attention of females or to warn the group of imminent danger (so does man, we are all mammals).
