) have a duration of 4301278 ms (696 + 313 ms) and consist of a series of 613 (8.5 + 3.1) short notes, with each note represented by one single pulse. Calls are somewhat complex in structure due to different kinds of modulation involved. Initial notes (
<emphasis box="[642,677,1592,1615]" italics="true" pageId="6" pageNumber="385">i.e.</emphasis>
, those excluding the terminal note[s] with maximum amplitude) are very short with a duration of 513 ms (8.4 + 2.9 ms) and are emitted at intervals of 5089 ms (63 + 11 ms) duration at an approximate repetition rate of 1314 notes/second. Initial notes are followed by 12 terminal notes of longer duration of 2026 ms (23.6 + 1.9 ms), which are separated from initial notes by longer inter-note intervals of 163 195 ms (172 + 11 ms), but are generally identical to initial notes in overall structure. Terminal notes exhibit the highest amplitude of all notes of a call, with the amplitude almost constantly increasing in series of short initial notes. However, the increase in amplitude from the first to the last note is slightly irregular in some calls. In addition to the amplitude modulation present within calls, there is also slight frequency modulation among notes, with the first note exhibiting the lowest dominant frequency with 40164317 Hz (4095 + 124 Hz), increasing towards the last of the short initial notes with 44684790 Hz (4670 + 133 Hz). The longer and more powerful terminal note of each call then slightly drops in dominant frequency with 42974467 Hz (4379 + 54 Hz), with this frequency representing the overall dominant frequency of the entire call. The approximate prevalent bandwidth of the call is 34006700 Hz. Calls were emitted at an approximate rate of 30 calls/minute, with inter-call intervals ranging from 8401690 ms. The combination of different note lengths, amplitude modulation and frequency modulation results in a very particular and easily recognizable sound of the call.
