People have always been fascinated by whales’ haunting melodies, which have piqued their interest in how these sounds are formed. This has been a mystery until now.

Scientists discovered that whales, notably baleen whales, have developed a unique “voice box” that allows them to sing underwater, producing eerie and intricate songs, according to the BBC.

The research, published in Nature, also explains why ocean noise bothers these giants.

Researchers developed computer models of baleen whale sounds, finding that their song is limited to a specific frequency that corresponds to shipping vessel noise.

“Sound is absolutely crucial for their survival because it’s the only way they can find each other to mate in the ocean,” revealed Professor Coen Elemans from the University of Southern the haunting songs sung by whales have always intrigued people making them curious about how these sounds are produced. This has remained a mystery until now.

“Sound is absolutely crucial for their survival because it’s the only way they can find each other to mate in the ocean,” explained Professor Coen Elemans, of the University of Southern Denmark, who led the study.

“[These are some] of the most enigmatic animals that ever lived on the planet. “They are among the biggest animals; they’re smart, and they’re highly social.”
