“Biotwang” mysterious sound in the Mariana Trench
Scientists made audio recordings using autonomous gliders east of Guam in an area that included the Mariana Trench Marine National Monument. One complex call caught their attention and was named Western Pacific “Biotwang” because of its unusual synthetic sound. Researchers believe the sound is biological and produced by a baleen whale. “Biotwang” most resembles the minke whale “Star Wars” call.
