Can elephants talk to each other by making sounds called tummy rumbles?

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 far away can elephants hear?
The sound structure of elephants is very advanced. See, they can hear infrasound (i think it's called that) which is basically low rumbles that they can somehow send to each other. They can send them over long distances too, kind of like telephone calls. We can't hear them, by the way. Apparently African elephants can also detect the calls and foot stomps of other elephants through underground vibrations.Elephants hear through their ears.

What sounds do elephants make?
Elephants make a number of sounds. They make specific sounds related to sex and danger which we can hear and understand. However, they have a much larger number of sounds which are too low in frequency (infra sound) for our ears to hear which is propagated via the elephant's legs and feet through the ground over great distances. The most common sound (that we can hear) that elephants make is called trumpeting. We can also hear them make a low rumbling noise. Examples of this can be heard by clicking on the related link.
