Sound is an important cue for many terrestrial and aquatic animals that can provide crucial information about their habitats. Underwater sound with low attenuation over large distances has quite high propagation rates and allows long range transmission of information in the aquatic environment (Rogers and Cox, 1988; Bass and Clark, 2003). Sound travels almost five times faster in water than in air therefore it can be a useful comprehensive tool to transfer information in the aquatic environment (Slabbekoorn et al., 2010). Therefore sound play vital roles and could transfer intricate biological signals and convey particular specific information to aquatic animals for their daily basis communications with conspecifics and interactions across taxa (i.e. fish, invertebrates and marine mammals) but also during their lifetime span (Ladich, 2013; Putland et al., 2019; Tyack, 1998). Anthropogenic activity in aquatic habitats has been on the rise and caused environmental pollution in different modalities such as anthropogenic noise, acoustic, and ocean acidification, chemical, which in turn elevated ambient noise levels and enhanced low frequency sound propagation as the ocean become more acidic (Hildebrand, 2009; Brewer and Hester, 2009).
