They emit low‑frequency, complex songs that travel long distances.

Male humpbacks are best known for long, patterned songs produced on breeding grounds; these low‑frequency vocalizations likely help attract females and/or mediate male–male competition. Males also use visual/surface displays (breaching, tail and pectoral slaps) and may form competitive groups around a receptive female, but they do not use bubble trails as a courtship signal and they generally sing individually rather than in coordinated “arenas.”
