Acoustic behaviour
- Frequency range: 5–17 kHz (dominant band)
- Primary peak: Maximum energy at 9.4 kHz
- Secondary peak: Significant energy concentration near 7 kHz
The echeme song occupies a similar spectral range (5–17 kHz) but shows that shifted energy peak to approximately 8.5 kHz and broadband frequency characteristics maintain.[1]
