1949年百慕大的座头鲸歌曲不小心录制, 现已成为已知最古老的鲸鱼声响, 为研究海洋噪音影响提供了罕见的基线。 A 1949 humpback whale song off Bermuda, recorded accidentally, is now the oldest known whale vocalization, offering a rare baseline for studying ocean noise impacts.

1949年3月在百慕大录制的座头鲸歌曲被确定为伍兹·霍尔海洋学研究所研究人员在一个数字化项目中发现的最古老的已知鲸鱼声响。 A humpback whale song recorded off Bermuda in March 1949 has been identified as the oldest known whale vocalization, discovered by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution researchers during a digitization project. 在使用灰色声测仪进行声纳测试时意外捕获的声音被保存在一个耐用的塑料盘上——与当时脆弱的磁带不同。 Captured accidentally during sonar tests using a Gray Audograph, the sound was preserved on a durable plastic disc—unlike fragile tapes from the era. 记录为研究现代人类制造的噪音如何影响鲸鱼的通讯、航行和行为提供了一个基线。 The recording offers a rare glimpse into the ocean’s quieter 1940s soundscape, providing a baseline for studying how modern human-made noise affects whale communication, navigation, and behavior.
