With recording technology now more affordable, Rodney Rountree, Francis Juanes and colleagues are exploring the idea that many fish make sounds to communicate with each other, especially those that live in the perpetual dark of the deep ocean....read more

I can confirm that Barracuda growl like a dog would when threatened. I once was scuba diving in the Caribbean and came over a reef into a school of Cuda. Maybe several thousand of them. When I approached several of the stragglers, they showed me their teeth and growled. The best I can explain it, is like a dog would. Needless to say with that many Cuda around I did not push them and left the area. I also have catfish that make all sorts of sounds. I would imagine that they can all ( the fish ) hear pretty good underwater and most can make some kind of sounds to communicate with each other. For the ocean mammals, they all talk and sing to each other all the time. So I would say, yes but we can't understand them at all. And if we can't understand any other animal on Earth it makes me wonder if we could understand any other beings from other planets. Maybe someday we will stop killing each other and find this out. What could they teach us? What would they tell us?

Something big was recorded in this video. They said the sound is living and larger then a blue whale...something big is talking in the oceans :look:

The Bloop: A Mysterious Sound from the Deep Ocean | NOAA SOSUS

What created this strange sound in Earth's Pacific Ocean? Pictured above is a visual representation of a loud and unusual sound, dubbed a Bloop, captured by deep sea microphones in 1997. In the above graph, time is shown on the horizontal axis, deep pitch is shown on the vertical axis, and brightness designates loudness. Although Bloops are some of the loudest sounds of any type ever recorded in Earth's oceans, their origin remains unknown. The Bloop sound was placed as occurring several times off the southern coast of South America and was audible 5,000 kilometers away. Although the sound has similarities to those vocalized by living organisms, not even a blue whale is large enough to croon this loud. The sounds point to the intriguing hypothesis that even larger life forms lurk in the unexplored darkness of Earth's deep oceans. A less imagination-inspiring possibility, however, is that the sounds resulted from some sort of iceberg calving. No further Bloops have been heard since 1997, although other loud and unexplained sounds have been recorded.
