The Sound of Swans
My 6 year old daughter came up to me this afternoon and asked, “Dad, what do swans sound like?” As I was thinking about how to best answer her, she said, “Let’s just search on Google … type in “the sound of swans” here (pointing at the Google search bar on my Firefox browser) … and see what we get.”
That’s from a 6-year old – WOW! If that’s her consciousness as a 6-year old, just imagine how she’ll learn, interact and engage with the world as she grows up … Totally incredible!
If you want to know what swans sound like, check it out:
- Tundra Swans have a high-pitched, often quavering OO-OO-OO accentuated in the middle; or WHO, WHO-HO, WOO-OO-WOOO, or WHO-WHO. If that description is a bit hard to get your mind around, you can hear a Tundra Swan call in flight.
- Trumpeters have an unmistakable resonant, loud, trumpet-like call. Hmmmm…I wonder how they got the name Trumpeter Swan. Hear a few happy Trumpeters right HERE!
- Mute Swans are generally silent but not “mute.” However, their grunts, snorts, and quiet whistles cannot be confused with the distinctive calls of Trumpeter and Tundra Swans.
