We recorded 15 pops emitted from three individuals with a hydrophone (see Supplemental Experimental Procedures). One pop lasted 0.41 ± 0.022 s (Figure 1E). The dominant frequency was 6912.7 ± 256.11 Hz, but frequencies extended from close to zero to over 90 kHz (Figure 1F). Sound pressure was 150.0 ± 1.41 dB re 1 µPa at 1 m (range 140.8 to 157.0).
