DESCRIPTION:
- In Humpback Whales, get a large collection of isolated humpback whale vocalizations from their natural habitat. Hear elephant-like trumpeting and guttural stutters like the gates of hell are opening. Hear elk-like bugling and powerful clicks like alien languages. Hear playful dewdrop "hellos" between whales and deep grunts that will test the limits of your subwoofer. Hear distant humpback whales wailing and visceral vocals so close its like you've been swallowed by a whale.
- This library offers you the sounds of a natural wonder that teleports you to another planet. Recording among these giants was an awe inspiring experience and they make an astonishing array of emotive vocalizations. I hope you enjoy these recordings too. Thanks for listening.
