| Our ears can't easily discern the resonant tones buried in the rumblings generated by black smokers, but the UW's Timothy Crone has filtered out four examples for you to hear by clicking on the buttons above.

The lighter lines in the lower part of the chart represent ambient, or background, noise. |
