Sounds of the Deep

A new love song CD with a difference could make a splash by featuring sea creatures including an amorous haddock.

The British Library collection includes marine mating calls.



Whale and dolphin sounds may be familiar but deeper in the North Sea the recorded sounds include a male haddock searching for a mate.

The haddock courting noises start as slow knocks and turn into a quicker hum that sounds similar to a small motorcycle revving its engine.

Sounds of the Deep also features a walrus diving for food and the clicks, whistles and buzzes of the Atlantic Spotted Dolphin.
