Hi Peter, You are correct. I was interested in potential impacts of non-audible sounds. Apologies for not being more clear. I figured the most data would be for humans and from what I have been able to find so far, there isn't a lot out there (probably more for infrasound compared to ultrasound). Thanks, Amy Peter Lennox wrote: do I understand correctly: you're interested in documentation on the effects, on whatever species, of non-audible sounds? - I would imagine that the best (most comprehensive) documentation would be for humans - is there much in this area? - I'd be interested in your findings regards ppl Dr Peter Lennox Director of Signal Processing and Applications Research Group (SPARG) School of Technology, Faculty of Arts, design and Technology University of Derby, UK e: p.lennox@xxxxxxxxxxx t: 01332 593155 w: http://sparg.derby.ac.uk/SPARG/Staff_PLX.asp ________________________________________ From: AUDITORY - Research in Auditory Perception [AUDITORY@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Amy R.

Typically, impacts are only considered for those noises that fall into a species auditory range, but I wanted to know more about potential impacts/likelihood for impacts for those sounds outside the auditory range (assuming they would be more physiological, rather than behavioral, where an animal would have to hear the sound in order to respond). I am coming at this from a bit different angle, since I am considering this in the context of non-human hearing ranges (thus, infra- and ultrasonic ranges may be different depending on the species), specifically for marine species (fish, marine mammals, and sea turtles). In order not to clog up everyone's email boxes, you can respond to me directly, if you like (email in my signature below). Thanks for your help, Amy -- ____________________________________ Amy R.
