Elephants have a wide variety of noises, including trumpeting with their trunks, but also make low rumbling sounds with their vocal cords (not their "tummy") that are subsonic and can travel for miles through the ground (they're seismic"). The sounds can be heard by other, distant, elephants through their feet and trunks. These low frequency noises are called 'infrasound'.

How does African elephant communicate?
African elephants communicate through sounds and body language. Sounds include sounds that we can hear, such as the famous trumpeting sound, which is usually a response to a surprising stimulus. Sounds also include a lot of very low pitch rumblings, which pass through their feet and then travel for many miles through the ground, where other elephants can sense the sounds. That's a means of long distance communication.
Is an elephants pitch soft or loud?
Pitch is not loudness; an elephant can make both loud and quiet sounds, however all of their sounds are relatively low pitch.
