- Hi everybody, and welcome to the first episode of WHALEZONE.TV | Sounds of the Ocean series. Today we will dive into Sperm Whale "coda" and we will witness a very special moment: a newborn Sperm Whale starts exploring the world surrounded by its family! This neonate was probably less than two weeks old as indicated by the evident fetal folds on its flank and the lack of rigidity of its tail flukes. Watch carefully and you will even see the umbilical cord still hanging from its belly! Listen, watch, feel.

Smh they're having a private conversation and we're all just eavesdropping
Exactly🤭
Yea,now i know jeff wasn't able to catch the squid in the blue trench and jolie is pregnant again
@@pekozyn6514 😂😂😂
Maybe they shouldn't shout their personal business for the whole ocean to hear...
@@ServantofBaal lmaooo 😭😭😭
Imagine how terrifying it would be to here this when you have no idea it was a sperm whale.
If you heard this in the water it would rupture your eardrums its so loud
What Finn said. Marine biologists have to be extremely careful when dealing with these guys, as the clicks can cause actual heat to build up from the intensity of the clicks. That and hearing loss.
E Man a marine biologist put out his hand out to stop a sperm whale from bumping him while it swam by. Half of his arm was paralyzed for 4 hours from the insane vibration of the sound that close. Most of the reason these guys don’t get literally vibrated to death easily is that the whales take a lot of interest in the divers and are “gentle” with them both physically and with there sound.
@@finnwaddell3402 u can die of it, the sound is like 230 desibel and the threashold to die of sound is 180-200 desibels
Wait- it was a whale I was on a beach in the water-
sounds like my belly after a proper meal
André Müller 🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like my door creaking
Ha ha ha 😐
Im eating one right now
😂😂😂😂😂
Actually, my best friend is a whale, I don't know, when we met we just clicked.
are you serious
😂

A friend of mine once went diving to investigate a problem his employer was having with a pipe. While following the pipe, they stumbled on a pod of sperm whales that were doing this same thing; greeting their newborn baby. The whales slowly got closer to the divers and, basically invited them into their pod. One even tried to share a squid it had killed, laying it on the ground next to them. My friend took a piece of it back home with him.
The baby quickly started investigating and playing with them. Mom had to step in when they started getting rowdy. The divers eventually ran out of air. The baby continued to play with them while they detoxed (waiting near the surface of the water for about 15 minutes, to allow their body to remove the nitrogen that built up in their blood.) They changed their tanks and got right back in, playing with them all the way back down.
This happened for about 3 hours a day, the next 5 days. All happening while searching and fixing the pipe. To this day, they spend a bit of time together when the pod is in the area. It's even believed that the whales have warded off a few shark attacks. They have returned those favors whenever possible; cutting fishing line off the whales.
@stanly stud Dr. James Nestor talking about this same basic thing happening. The only thing he gets wrong is that scuba always scares them (whether or not it does depends on the pod): czcams.com/video/zsDwFGz0Okg/video.html

I’ve heard that sperm whales freak out easily and prefer free divers to anything else
@@china_sickness7005 Some populations are like that. Some aren't.
@Thiere Gamer The sound can definitely injure you, if you're not careful. If you were to be in the water when they're talking at normal volume, you will be able to feel your body warming up from the sound hitting you. However, sperm whales are intelligent enough to realize that they're causing it. They will quiet down if they know humans are in the water, if they've experienced humans before.
That’s insane what a rare experience
Louder than a jackhammer and a jet engine. The loudest sound known to man is the sperm whale, with a damning 200+ decibel sound complex. It would literally kill you to hear the high notes, so to speak.
only if the Spermwhale actually wanted to
So that means if anyone was near them in the water, they would die from the noises?
@@raedkhashashneh5781 yes
@@raedkhashashneh5781 This belief isn’t based on facts or science but on one single video and the experience of one author/journalist and his supposedly numb hand/arm. People are treating his assumption as factual and established science when it most certainly isn’t. Now people are talking as if sperm whales have sonic rifles on the tip of their noses that can kill instantly. It’s utterly ridiculous. Although it is quite possible that it does use its echolocation to attack or stun prey, it hasn’t been proven yet. The author’s name is James Nestor.
Wasn't Krakatoa eruption louder?
Mildly infuriating that this sound is supposedly the loudest made by any living thing yet its so tame in every recording :(
Maybe because if it was louder you’d be dead
It’s more about the sound capacity of our ordinary electronics. In person the powerful sound can paralyze you.
@@lagopusvulpuz1571 more like turn your guts into shit. Even more.
You would probably want to wear more layers of noise-canceling headphones than how much decibels these guys make when they click.
i'm an amateur free diver, and sound is extremely muted underwater. i find it really easy to appreciate just how terrifyingly loud these clicks are coz the fidelity of these noises makes me think they've been created in air. except, it's underwater. sorry...that's a bad explanation. but if you've been for a snorkel/dive at the beach you'll appreciate just how damn loud these whales must be.
Imagine diving deep into the ocean, looking down and seeing a black abyss, then start to hear an annoying clicking sound..
annoying? This is beautiful eargasm shit lmao, maybe you should get better headphones
@@kitdatkat it's gonna kill you if you hear it underwater
@@talkany_ath481 Nope, because they are highly intelligent and gentle creatures and they know not to blast you too hard with the sound. When they realize what you are they will stop altogether
@@kitdatkat bro
What if ur far away and starts to hear that
U will die of a heart attack 💀
@@kitdatkat
That's not true at all lol
the sounds made my cat crawl next to me and sleep. wtf
Nah that's just what cats do
lol you
Bruh putting my phone at the loudest volume already low key hurts my ears imagine bing there! Next to them! Especially since this is not even their loudest!
How didn’t you die under there? Those sounds can literally vibrate you to death!
Many clicks can kill you but some are just loud and can't kill you
@@manyabavishi5728 oh
Yes we know that
They say that when doing that, their body heats super much due to the loud vibrations, but no one thankfully died, and same confusion here they say it's loud enough to kill but they still dive w them.
But they do that on purpose cuz robots and other ways of diving can dream them out..
You from daily dose of internet ?
pov: you just watched daily dose of internet's video and now you're here
nope
Yes
yes
Y E S
Yeah
The sound seems low but the original one is loud
You want loud....... go in the ocean because they will blast your eardrums out!
Harrison Green they can vibrate a human’s body to death-
Harrison Green they’ll be dead before they can get back-
Bruh you literally got that from Daily Dose Of Internet?
The original sound would have literally *killed us.* So I'm glad this is low lol
Sperm Whales are amazing creatures.
I heard that the clicks are so powerful that they can kill a huma
Yeah theyre at 200 decibels and can be heard over 60 miles. Theyre basically sonic booms and can vibrate a human to death. Theyre really loud.
@@peanutjuice1748 ive also heard that some even think that they can communicate as far as being at 2 opposite points on earth...is that true?
@@2facestr_oguzhan788 yes, but that was only an assumption, it cannot be proven... Its already good enough to know that it would kill you
230
I think they can only kill u when ur in the water
Sounds like your gaining RADS in fallout 4
Lol
who tf play f4 bro? its dogshit
@@F.E.M.T.O i made that coment about 1-2 years ago boy calm down
Broo i just finished fallout 4 a while ago, im dying now🤣🤣
They sound like an old swing set..
It sounds like teeth grinding 🤨
The noise makes me uncomfortable after reading this
@@liamcallahan240 same -_-
Ruined whale noise for me.
I was enjoying it till now
Sounds like a moving tree.
Lol one of my gerbils was very fascinated by this when I played it quietly in my room, he sat right up at the front of his tank and stared intently for a while, and sniffed the air.
MY EARS ARE ACTUALLY HURTING RN
This is where they found the sfx for the clickers in The Last of Us.
Haha omg yes sounds like them!
Sucks cause its actually just a grape being tazed and the sound being slowed down..
@@loveleonk The grapes being tazed was for a movie called A Quiet Place. In The Last of Us, it was a human who made the sounds for all of the infected.
I bet most of you didn't know that some of those sounds are so loud that when close enough can vibrate a human to death.
Lies
@@arlynredila4817 not lies
@@meettheinmans7175 more lies
@@arlynredila4817 lol. It's true. But lol at your lies comments. Made me laugh.
They are so majestic, swimming in glory.
😭❤️
this is what I imagine it sounds like when I think about tendons or muscles ripping
Same
Tooth grinding
Little baby looks so uncoordinated swimming. At the beginning it looked like it was having difficulty trying to breathe and swim. Thankfully momma and escorts were able to prop baby up to help it.
I like the sound of them, they are fantastic creatures!
Sound like a door creaking
*huh?*
But many times louder
200decibels door sound
But it’s actually so loud it can kill a human
Dude I swear the sound is so satisfying
Maybe at a safe distance, but if you are close to a sperm whale, the sound while send your body into a rapid vibration, resulting in death.
@@caseypitt1296 I already know that being close to a sperm whale clicking is very loud at 230 Decibels, thats enough to kill you.
it's a different story when you hear it in person while really close to the whales...
I didn't even realize that sound was the whales at first. It doesn't even sound like it should be a loud noise. To me it sounds like creaking wood. So surreal
exactly my point too haha
This is such an asmr 👀
Say that again when the clicks vibrate your body so hard at 280 decibels you die
@@mrmcnulty8813 I mean the sound in the video I will probably die if I listen it irl 😭
@@mrmcnulty8813 do they only click at 280 decibels?
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! IT IS NOT OFTEN WE GET TO HEAR THEIR RECORDINGS!
Oh, it's absolutely beautiful, it brings tears to my eyes!
I'm trying to be welcomed into their pod by being pelted by the most sophisticated form of sonar and communication on earth.
This is so beautiful, they sound like human women, excited about the new baby!
I must ask, is whale sonar and clicks considered military secrets?
Tears?😂😂
Sounds like my stomach after eating pop rocks
Bruh
Oml XD
Do you have about 10 hours of this? I will PAY for it!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a terrifying sound. If I was another creature, hearing these clicks I’d feel like I was going crazy. Sounds like an alien species getting ready to kill us all.
I would think someone done pulled up on me with weapons
If this went viral, would we take better care of the oceans and their stunning diversity? One can dream...
Me trying to sneakily open the door to kitchen at 3 AM.
Thats the sound when you try sneaking back home at 3 AM and your parents are asleep.
This might be my favorite video on the internet.
A sound of Sperm Whale can reach up to 236 dB. It means it's the loudest animal in the world.
now, this is supposed to be 230db. (note that 150db is enough to burst your ear drums)
And 230 dB are more than enough to collapse your lungs for the vibration.
whales are truly the most majestic creatures on earth
Horses are, in my opinion
Those are some big bois, lol. Wow...
Sounds like a old door opening and closing
this is so relaxing lol
Amazing!
They're not kidding when they said that the clicks are very loud
That's such a beautiful thing
There is something terrifying but amazing abou this
probably they are that loud and angry because they have been given the name
Reading Moby Dick. It's sad these beautiful creatures were hunted, yet the author obviously really admired them based on his descriptions of them.
So intelligently created
in real life, these sounds are so loud they can kill humans.
I’m listening on my EarPods and I almost died watching
Amazing animals
Fun fact: If you heard this is real life, your ears and lungs would burst
Why does it sound so satisfying 😂
This made my ears ring through the phone
They sure are huddled close!
*doors creeks*
me: “who there?” 😂
He didn't die because he is the *Cameraman*
Deadly sound
Fun fact: these sounds are 230 decibels, meaning that they can shatter your eardrums if you are too close.
So my astronomy teacher told me one day that there's no such thing as a dumb question, and that you should always ask what you're curious about. So if this seems like something that's rather obvious to you, my apologies lol.. But since these creatures are known to be the loudest animals, how do divers protect themselves underwater while filming these interactions? As far as their ears/hearing goes. Thank you in advance for any info you can provide!
The water changes how sound travels, so the decibel measurements aren't actually 100 percent comparable. So far there has been no documented death/injury from hearing these sounds.
how do they make this sound?
Is that how it really sounds underwater or did he just made it louder so we can hear it?
Im glad whales evolved to go into the ocean. Imagine walking somewhere in early history then all of the sudden this massive behemoth sounds off at 230db
Pearl and her whale family reunite for the first time since she was three years old (2020 colorized)
COLORIZED
Lol for the first two seconds I thought someone just opened my bedroom door….
Omg such good asmr
Relaxing sounds of the streets of Britain 🇬🇧
Whales be like: "Yo..we goin on a trip so make sure you'll bring your tents not eat them"
is very relax
Slow it down as much as your video player will allow, and listen to it loud . . . it is so complex! And we can't even hear the subsonic and ultra-sonic ranges.
It sounds just like my door creaking
Sounds like someone struggling to open a bottle
I make those very same sounds every morning...
this is the most primitiv form of ASMR
Sounds like stretching a rubber
It sounds like a metal detector, lol
Baby Sperm Whale for 3 years: “Wtf are y’all saying????”
Descobri de onde tiraram o som dos estaladores de The Last of Us
Mama and aunts sound like creaky doors.
that’s crazy
Me walking downstairs in the middle of the night
The Sperm Whales are well aware of their sonar, communication and hunting abilities. They can target and fine tune their clicks accordingly. Much how we can talk quietly or shout our heads off. I gather they were have a quiet chat. They can also use their sonar as a weapon to stun or kill. But also to see inside like an ultrasound at a hospital.
Tests showed on dolphins and orcas. Showed they can be given to objects of the same size, shape and color and immediately identify which is which by using their sonar.
Alternitive thumbnail: blue whale does asmr
Sounds like a gear turning
Ngl I thought we would been dead after hearing that 💀
Great now I’m dead
These guys killed there ears for this video
Are they really loud
theese clicks making me insane even if its low volume wtf
I love whales
I connected to a random device on my phone and im playing this full volume
The sounds of these whales are creeping me out
Wow 😳😳
Sounds to me like they’re rippin’ mean ones
Smarter than us
Elders to us all
Why does it sound like fire on a camping trip?
They’re just talking in Morse code x)
