Their advanced biological sonar can project 2,000 high-frequency clicks per second.
Toothed whales, like dolphins and sperm whales, make high-frequency clicks that bounce off their prey and their surroundings.
Many insects have evolved countermeasures to echolocation, including the ability to hear high frequencies, a strategy of power diving to the ground, and, in some cases, the emission of high-frequency clicks to create acoustic confusion.
Like bats, they emit high-frequency clicks that bounce off objects and then interpret the echoes.
Scientists have long wondered why certain species emit these high-frequency clicks that sound like rapid squeaks from a creaky floorboard.
A creak is a rapid series of high-frequency clicks that sounds somewhat like a creaky door hinge.
deaf14 mice had normal ABR thresholds in response to mixed frequency (click) stimuli (Fig. 3A).
Indeed, shad swim away from high frequency clicks, which could suggest that these fish evolved specialized hearing in order to escape echolocating predators (Wilson et al., 2011).
Adult solenodons approach each other with open mouths, perhaps emitting high-frequency clicks.
The students were first taught to produce sharp, high-frequency clicks with their tongues.
