That's fascinating. I've never heard a seal make any noise underwater.

I growled at one underwater once 'cos it wouldn't stop pestering me ...

Maybe I've taught them a new language

Thumbs up Vocalizing
Thanks.
Yes - seals (esp greys) make a wide range of vocalizations underwater.
These can convey a variety of behaviours including communicating aggression and being used to attract mates.

I have witnesed a mixture of sounds being generated by seals - the most impressive from a very large bull seal upright in the water making a deep base noise to attract a cow seal before in water mating - the noise was so loud and deep base that I could feel it in my chest and I was about 8m away.

This is a female pup about 9 months old I think.
She spent over an hour with me and at times made other vocalizations, some warning other seals off.

A real priviledge to be in the company of these wild animals.

Safe diving,
Ben
