Communication

Acoustic Communication

Communication using sound signals, including vocalizations, vibrations, and other mechanical waves. Enables long-distance communication through obstacles.

Biological Context

Whales communicate across ocean basins, elephants through infrasound, insects through substrate vibrations. Acoustic signals can convey identity, location, emotional state, and specific information. Sound travels differently in various media and environments.

Business Application

Acoustic communication parallels brand voice and market positioning signals. Clear, consistent signals travel further and face less distortion than complex messages trying to convey too much.
