Many Minds – A Hidden World of Sound
Consider the peacock. Its plumage is legendary—those shimmering, iridescent colors, and those eerie, enchanting eyespots. But what often goes less appreciated (at least by us humans) is that this chromatic extravaganza is also a sonic extravaganza. The peacock’s display operates in infrasound, an acoustic dimension that we simply can’t hear without assistance. Which raises a question: If we’re oblivious to the full vibrancy of the peacock’s display, what other sounds might we be missing out on?
