Bats are extreme when it comes to sound production and have a greater vocal range than singers like Mariah Carey and Prince, a new study suggests
The animals are able to"make low-frequency calls" using their so-called"false vocal folds" just as metal singers do, according to a new study..
It's found that for some sounds, bats use the same technique as human death metal singers and throat-singing members of the Tuva people in Siberia and Mongolia, according to a new study on Daubenton's bats. "Some human singers can reach a range of four to five, but they are only very few. Well-known examples are Mariah Carey, Axl Rose and Prince. It turns out that bats surpass this range by using different structures in their larynx."False"vocal folds" replicate actual vocal fold tissues, that are located in the voice box - but they are not used in normal human speech and song.
