“…syllable repetition rate and number of syllables per call). Such acoustic parameter changes are widespread across mammals, suggesting common coding rules that function to influence the behavior of conspecifics: bats [9], [25], [29], [58], primates [24], [59], [60], tree shrews [27], ground squirrels [61], [62], dogs [28], [63], African elephants [64], and guinea pigs [65]. Moreover, particular sound qualities such as rapid signal onset, short duration click-like energy pulses, upward FM sweeps, rapid amplitude modulations, and noisy frequency spectra routinely alter the attention, arousal, and affect of listeners [66].…”
