He means overwhelming in the sense that the sound could damage your body. Spermwhale have an echo-location so powerful they can talk to another of their kind hundreds of miles away, and at close range, if the whale wants to. It couls kill you with prolonged exposure

And above all that, If they make clicking noise it could paralize you. Happened to some researchers... The sound was that painfull he streched out his arm, as If to stop it. It stayed that way 4 hours 🙈

@@Sir_Bucket Except The Sperm Whale brain is about 6x the size of ours. Sperm Whales have a Neocortex that is also around 6x the size of ours. Sperm Whales also have a far larger quantity of Spindle cells than we do. So Sperm Whales therefore have a greater natural capacity to be humane than most of us humans do and although they could easily kill humans they are too majestic and ethical to do so.

don't worry, we're slowly getting better and better at it, like we're now a bit more aware of what types of dinosaurs had what types of feathers when we didn't a few decades ago, but yeah some animals might be really off right now, and many animals will simply never be recreated.

Ditto They commonly dive over 3K feet down, and in extreme cases over 2 *MILES* deep, holding their breath for up to 90 minutes! And just think that when they get all that distance down there, they hunt and eat a living nightmare: the giant squid! These beasts fill me with awe on so many levels.

i am really afraid of these whales, the fact that they swim deep and their look those teeth that head omg the way they sleep lol

They seem to be aware that we arent able to withstand such loud calls, so whenever someones diving with them, you can say that theyre careful to us, trying not to hit us with their fins or kill us with their calls Theyre probably aware that were a large intelligent mammal, just like them

Travis Ralph Interesting! So scuba diving is a no go around them? I suppose the unnatural sound of the tanks make them anxious.

They simply choose not to. How lucky we are.

thankfully they seem to hold back when humans free dive with them

He's free diving. He's not that deep

true, but just the thought about the ginormous amounts of water around you, filled with creatures we barely have an understanding about can be quit scary. The whales could take you out in seconds if they want, I think you need a lot of courage to want to swim so close to these beautiful giants.

Subparanon Good idea but wrong. Their clicks are what they use to chat (in sound), and each pod has their own language and accent.

Very cool idea for a part of lore in some unique universe of a story.

Corporal Porpoise Don't diss the theory. They could use a combination of both language and image to communicate.

Telepathy

It was found, last year, that Orcas communicate just as you said. Not only by vocalizations, but by sending an image to other Orcas of what he/she may pick up by echolocation, or by visual.

I have heard the storie before

Hopefully it wasn't a full grown bull, because that can take down a small house!

a sperm whale purposefully using its tail to attack will turn a human body to mush

Yeah, and they measured 230 decibels when, where, and by whom? Crickets...

140 decibels is a gun shot noise, consider also that each grade doubles the noise, so, 141 decibels is twice louder than a gun shot and so forth. Scientists have discovered that a Sperm Whale can communicate with another whale across the earth and all it's oceans.

@@thiagosmartpc1395 True to form on dis information about whales, I say massive exaggeration on what scientists say about whale communication. And what exactly are the whales saying cross-ocean, bring me back some Spanish leather boots?

@@dap777754 Considering that underwater environment conducts sounds in a much higher level than the atmospheric air, a Sperm Whale can do the inter oceanic communication with success. But, I'm not a scientist, I'm just repeating what I saw in a documentary video about this whale species. In fact they have a pretty developed sonar communication and an efficient deep underwater navigation through the same sonar structure. I read a comment of a Navy's sailor about the ship's sonar saying that the divers can't repair the ship's casket underwater while the sonar is activated because it can kill them due to the enormous noise propagation emitted by the sonar and sperm's whale sonar is much more louder, louder than a rocket launching explosion. I just repeating what I have researched on internet and, of course, there's a lot of disinformation being spread. I don't know if it applies entirely about the Sp Wle curiosities.

Wonder if they could 'concuss' a human with a high decibel sonar 'ping'.

@@mikecooper8462 Probably. It is the most powerful sound known to be produced by any animal, and they can control both frequency, amplitude and focus - all while watching the effect on the target. So I’d guess »yes«.

They can?!

@@sarajoyous4054 Yes, their sonar is like ultrasound.

@@mikecooper8462 Saw another video of a diver. Said the clicking of a sperm whale felt like he was getting pelleted by giant blobs of sound. It was so intense it paralyzed a diver's hand. What's even MORE interesting is that the sperm whales seem to understand their effect on humans and are actually lowering the intensity of their clicking to avoid hurting us! These animals are intelligent AND compassionate, it's amazing!

Cus while every animal is the part of the ecosystem and does only what they've programmed by God, human beings ain't be cus they re only hurting it.

@@yusufclk2381 You pretty much summed up the dumbest environmentalist perspective possible.

Little late but they know how to adjust the frequency of their sounds. They are smart enough and considerate enough if they don't perceive us as a threat they will lower the frequency to where we can tolerate it.

Because we don't smell very tasty. Other than orcas, whales don't eat meat unless it is seafood.

@@Kyle-gu3ge Pure speculation. Animals in the wild don't attack needlessly out of self-preservation, that's all. Whales know there's a risk of self-harm if they start bashing objects. It's not about "consideration." Nor about intelligence per se.

Sure would suck if they went extinct.

@@kz8155 Of course not. Sperm whales, when mad, like at men in whaling boats chasing them, butt the boats with their massive heads - that's how they "kill" if they kill at all. Killer whales have been known to drown people by holding them underwater. Again, no one ever was targeted for death by a whale with "sound". It would be like you by trying to "kill" someone by yelling at them. It's just silly.

@@turtleme4811 This seems to be a recurring theme. They are capable of many things but what's remarkable is they are capable of not doing these things. They use their high intelligence to not hurt Man. Which makes them safer around us then any other animal.

I call BS. No human ever died from whale noises. Whales derive no evolutionary benefit from stunning prey with loud noise; it's not what they do. They make noise to echolocate and have little interest or reason to make insanely loud noise because it serves no purpose. I otherwise agree they are beautiful, intelligent and gentle creatures.

In another yiutube video, the lecturer said that their brains and their neocortex (responsible for speech and consciousness) is 6 times bigger than ours. It's crazy.

@@JerryMetal Yes, but the whale can hold it for 3 hours. The human can hold it for a few minutes.

+FrozenEternity bottlenose dolphins and pilot whales look huge when seen from up close, imagine swiming with those leviathans

They could get angry tho. And u know. kill u.

+FrozenEternity They are carnivorous. Perhaps they don't eat people because they don't often have the opportunity. If that diver was wearing a squid costume, it might have been a different story.

George Applegate I don't think so if cetaceans can tell if someone is pregnant by their sonar, I'm pretty sure that they can tell apart a human and a squid, specially near the surface where they can see you perfectly

There have indeed been recorded cases of Sperm whales killing people when enraged -- usually whalers themselves trying to kill the whale -- either with their flukes or by crushing them in their jaws. They will also fiercely defend their calves. They're highly intelligent and not animals to trifle with. They're also the largest predators in the world today, possibly the largest predators of all time.

Wait what?

They crawled onto land and then thought, "fuck this shit, I'm out" and crawled back.

Yup. They used to be little deer running around swamp marshes.

@@Luke_MoonWalker Probably the truth is out there somewhere in the middle. By somewhere in the middle, I mean anywhere from the big bang was God and he's been hands off the rest of the time to humans are an alien genetic experiment Watching a giraffe autopsy video is kinda what did it for me. There's this really weird nerve that goes down from the brain, wraps AROUND the heart, then goes back UP through the neck. Off the top of my head I don't remember what it does but seeing how giraffe had that whole design flaw going through that insane neck instead of directly from the brain to the destination elsewhere in the head? That speaks to me that evolution ain't just a theory. Look at what humans have done with food. Evolution and guided design can be both true at the same time.

I was legit wondering the same thing, and came here to see if I was the only one

The sound is lethal when the whale wants it to be, it's sort of like a gun and they can control the intensity of it, it's fortunate it doesn't see the guy as a giant squid.

They quiet down around humans. I don't know why, they just tend to be more gentle when they see a human.

9 ocb😙

Keep in mind that when you go up by 10 decibels the sound intensity is doubled. So 110 decibels is twice as loud as 100, 120 is twice as loud as 110, and so on. A shotgun blast is 130, those competition winning car stereos are 160, the Rockets going off at Cape Canaveral are 180, I believe sonars are between 200 and 220, and look up the Vela Pulsar. It spins at 11 times per second and I think it's 325 decibels. Which is literally unimaginable.
