Many tiny marine organisms make noise, Tony. Waterboatmen, insect
larvae, tadpoles (spadefoot toads, for instance), all vocal with
certain species. Keep in mind, though, that there's still lots of work
to do identifying all those that do (or don't) vocalize. One of my
biggest surprises was when I first dropped a hydrophone into a vernal
pool at Mono Lake and heard those critters for the first time in 1984.
