Abstract A wide variety of sounds were recorded from two entrapped humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae), a female and a male, in Newfoundland, Canada, during the summers of 1975 and 1976. The sounds included pulsed moans, moans, yups, cries, chirps and clicks. Comparisons are made between the sounds of the two whales (male and female). The most frequently produced sounds, pulsed moans and moans, are compared with similar sounds that compose part of the winter song. The sounds from the New-foundland whales were not put together into songs.
