Core idea
Applies the cocktail party idea to how animals communicate in noisy environments.
Why it stuck
Suddenly my band rehearsals and a frog chorus at 72 dB A-weighted feel like the same experiment.
My take
Helpful for remembering that humans aren’t the only species yelling over bad room acoustics.
