I know from listening to persons who speak languages like
Siberian Yupik, to Chinese. As well as my own doing animals
calls, some that I suspect are communication, from mating calls,
to hello I am here and like. From ravens, to cats, to bears and
even whales (fun to do, but not sure if I get the ultra-low freq
right, not in my normal hearing far as I know).
But amazing how much humans can actually make sounds, and use
for communication.
>From slides, to gutterall growls and more.. Even can do a cats
purring (got to be sick, throat partially clogged, most times to
do this )..
