"Before I go, I'd just like to acknowledge the passing of the former ABC Radio race caller, Geoff Mahoney, who died this week. I for one grew up in a household where his voice was very familiar on a Saturday afternoon. Our thoughts are with his wife and his family."

ferrets can hear 11.3 octaves

The singer with the best vocal range is Tim Storms from Tulsa, Oklahoma. He hits notes so low only animals the size of elephants can hear them. Storms can sing a whopping number of notes – G/G#-5 to G/G#5 (0.7973 Hz – 807.3 Hz) but isn't a famous name – because your vocal range isn't everything.

sound works often evoke curiousity about voyeurism and where the artist and listener sit in connection to this idea and what role it plays - especially in relation to recording sounds and replaying them to a new audience
