Sorry Lou - only know what I read - the video is speeded up, so I
guess the thing that sounds like a 2-stroke generator is the low
frequency elephant sound. Some clicking around took me to this:

http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2005/june1/videos/48.html

But I cannot get anything to work on my system - maybe you can. Or
maybe the sounds are too low to be audible, and so the sounds don't
get posted. I have ridden Asian elephants on many occasions and felt
their body vibrate when I could not hear anything, and assumed it was
low frequency communication....but that was in phase of my life when I
was not recording. If you find some stuff please do post it.

Good luck !
