Dolphins can emit a very wide variety of sounds, with the frequency levels ranging ten times beyond what humans can hear. This system is called "echolocation", or "sonar", just like what a submarine uses to navigate underwater. Dolphins' sonar is much more advanced than human technology and can pinpoint exact information about it's surroundings ranging from size, distance and even the nature of the object. Dolphin speech is so complex that the sounds even cross the species barriers and enable different kinds of dolphins to communicate. They have been known to instruct each other as well as receive instructions and act accordingly. If you have ever been near dolphins, you can hear them making clicking and squealing noises when they are above water. This may be their attempt at communicating with humans too.

They can mean food or danger and they also express greetings to each other. The sounds are made through the use of the sonar that they use to navigate and is part of the brain.
