Disagree! The article explains something extremely cool: that there’s a layer in the ocean that acts like a megaphone, where sound that passes into it gets caught and propagates way further. That’s cool and specific.



Megaphones Amplify sound. Your analogy doesnt work. In no layer of the ocean is sound amplified.


Electric megaphones amplify sound. Acoustic megaphones direct sounds, much like what the article describes.


Yeah, I was thinking about the old fashioned cheerleading things, without any electricity involved. I even thought about being explicit in case someone was going to be pedantic ... there’s even an emoji for it
