Firstly, water is a basic neccesity of life for all organisms.

Where there are waterfalls there will also be sourrounding vegetation and a wide range of biodiverse communities.

It would be extremely helpful for animals to be able to detect waterfalls as they would know were a constant source of water is.

Herbivores would find vegetation

Carnivores/onmivores would find prey as other animals would congregate there

Animals would find mates for breeding

These are all essencial for healthy ecosystems

Because most animals communicate with infrasound so by using the infrasound detector you can detect the sound to the animal

Is it illegal to use infrasound?

No- in fact, it is used in devices to control the behaviour of dogs and other animals with hearing that goes above human pitch. However, there are a few people with-hyper-sensitive hearing who can actually pick up infrasound, if not as an actual noise then as uncomfortable vibrations.


Why is it useful for animals to use infrasound for communication?

Infra-sound signals are sound waves below 20 Hz. These cannot be sensed by the human ear, but the main advantage of this is that it can travel long distances without distortion. Hence animals like elephants use infra-sounds for communicating with other members of their species that might be wandering far apart.
