Dogwhelk rasping

My colleague Cory has been helping me try to record the rasping sounds of dogwhelks in the lab so we can tell when they are feeding and when they are just sitting still on a mussel. He's been working on figuring out all the hard- and software so far, and we are getting close! It turns out a small group of researchers at Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA is also developing a way to do this! And they shared one of their recordings online!

Ever wondered what dogwhelk drilling sounds like? Wonder no more.
