  2. Hydrophone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophone

    Most hydrophones contains a piezoelectric transducer that generates an electric potential when subjected to a pressure change, such as a sound wave. A hydrophone can also detect airborne sounds but is insensitive of them because it is designed to match the acoustic impedance of water, a denser fluid than air.

  3. SOSUS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOSUS

    The forty hydrophones spaced on the array provided the aperture for signal processing to form horizontal azimuthal beams of two to five degrees wide, each beam with a LOFAR analyzer and capability to do narrow-band frequency analysis to discriminate signal from ocean noise and to identify specific frequencies associated with rotating machinery.

  4. Towed array sonar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Towed_array_sonar

    The DUBV 43C towed array sonar of La Motte-Picquet.. A towed array sonar is a system of hydrophones towed behind a submarine or a surface ship on a cable. [1] Trailing the hydrophones behind the vessel, on a cable that can be kilometers long, keeps the array's sensors away from the ship's own noise sources, greatly improving its signal-to-noise ratio, and hence the effectiveness of detecting ...

  5. Underwater acoustic communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_acoustic...

    There are several ways of employing such communication but the most common is by using hydrophones. Underwater communication is difficult due to factors such as multi-path propagation, time variations of the channel, small available bandwidth and strong signal attenuation, especially over long ranges.

    song is "Huron Carol"; "Une Jeune Pucelle" A young musician plays the hydraulophone by pressing on jets of water laid out to a musical scale.Waterflute (reedless) hydraulophone with 45 finger-embouchure holes, allowing an intricate but polyphonic embouchure-like control by inserting one finger into each of several of the instrument's 45 mouths at once

    The following is a list of unidentified, or formerly unidentified, sounds.All of the NOAA sound files in this article have been sped up by at least a factor of 16 to increase intelligibility by condensing them and raising the frequency from infrasound to a more audible and reproducible range.

  8. Bloop - Wikipedia

    The sound's source was roughly triangulated to , a remote point in the South Pacific Ocean west of the southern tip of South AmericaThe sound was detected by the Equatorial Pacific Ocean autonomous hydrophone array, [1] a system of hydrophones primarily used to monitor undersea seismicity, ice noise, and marine mammal population and migration.

  9. Anti-submarine indicator loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-submarine_indicator_loop

    The German submarine UB-116, captained by Lieutenant J J Emsmann, who, along with his crew had volunteered for a suicide mission, was detected by hydrophones at 21:21 on 28 October 1918 while entering the harbour via Hoxa Sound. There were no allied vessels in the harbour so the indicator loops on the minefields were activated.
