"Sound can make the difference between life and death." —David Attenborough

(A line worth quoting to clients. 😉)

 

A bit from the press release:

Sky Nature unveils first look at Secret World of Sound with David Attenborough

• Brand new, three-part nature series uses world class technology to listen to the animal world like never before
• Series will launch on Sky Nature and streaming service NOW on Sunday 25 February

 

" Filmed in 4K ultra-high definition, each episode of the series will feature in-depth stories of eight animals, followed by five-minutes of Behind-The-Scenes footage. Unveiling the very latest in audio technology, the series uses specially adapted cameras and laser vibrometers, which allows humans to truly eavesdrop on the animal world for the first time and discover new stories and information that have been hidden until now.

The series incorporates microphones so tiny, they fit on your fingertip, and so precise they can detect the noise of a baby caiman calling from inside the egg. With 360-Dolby Atmos Sound, viewers will experience the breath-taking sounds of the natural world as never heard before."

At least some Sky programming has been made available on HBO. But maybe it will land on Sky Showtime?

 

Confusing times!

 

Have you watched this one? It is now available on Spanish TV, I guess it will be on others as well.

Thanks, I’ll check it out.

Oh man this'll be gooood! 
 

I heard a podcast that featured rats hanging out - all originally above 60kHz.  They had to slow down the recording so we could hear em.  Apparently all the fun playing and hanging out noises (including procreation) happens up there, and the mostly only distress sounds are audible.  So yeah, there is a secret universe of sounds!
