Create your own dolphin sounds and explore marine mammal communication!
Welcome to the Dolphin Composer! This interactive playground lets you create dolphin-like sounds right in your browser. Draw whistles by dragging on the canvas, sequence echolocation clicks, and experiment with different parameters. Each sound you create is synthesized in real-time using the Web Audio API.
How it works: Dolphins produce two main types of sounds - whistles (2-20 kHz) for communication and clicks (>20 kHz) for echolocation. Try the presets to hear examples, then create your own!
Draw a whistle contour by clicking and dragging on the canvas. The vertical axis is frequency (2-20 kHz).
Create echolocation click patterns. Each cell is ~62ms. Click cells to toggle.
