I get the impression that you believe Indian elephants have more than
one finger on the trunk.  I would have written "...longer than that
of an Indian elephant" or "longer than those of Indian elephants."
It is the African elephant that has two opposing fingers on the trunk.

And yes, they produce infrasound which travels for great distances.
I wonder how we humans would write an infrasound if we couldn't hear
it!  :-)>
