Vocal compensation to noise in pilot whales
Hej! My name is Milou, I’m a Dutch student in the master’s program in Applied Ethology and Animal Biology. For my thesis project, we tagged whales and looked at how they respond acoustically to increasing noise levels, same as we humans tend to raise our voice when it gets loud around us!
On this page I will walk you through what we did and show you how pilot whales are affected by the noise in our waters. If you have any questions while reading, feel free to reach out to me!
