Eurasian Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus), was known to produce ultra-low sounds. According to researchers working in Papua New Guinea we should add cassowaries (Genus: Casuarius spp.) to this list. Sound recordings of Dwarf (CC bennetti) and Southern Cassowaries (C. casuarius) reveal that the booming calls of both species contain sound energy in very low frequencies-23 Hz and 32 Hz, respectively. Given the thick understorey habitat occupied by cassowaries, the authors suggested that these ultra-low frequencies are used as long-distance signals. More
