"thwop," "muah" and "boop" are some of the sounds made by Humpback Whales. This story was originally published by the Guardian and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. From the "boing" of a minke whale to the "drum" of a red piranha, scientists are documenting more sounds in our world's oceans, rivers and lakes every year. Now, a team of experts wants to go a step further and create a reference library of aquatic noise to monitor the health of marine ecosystems. The Global Library of Underwater Biological Sounds (GLUBS) will include every "thwop," "muah" and "boop" of a humpback whale, as well as human-made underwater sounds and records of the geophysical swirl of ice and wind, according to a paper in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution.
