Abstract
No matter how perfect the recording equipment may be, there are acoustical influences that change signals in various ways. It may become impossible to decide just what the ‘real’ signal is like in detail for there may be no simple answer. Such considerations can relate to any examples of communication but they become especially significant for ultrasound and may pose important problems for echolocation.Keywords
