Study: Bats Have A Wider Vocal Range Than Mariah Carey
File this in the “I didn’t know I needed that files.” A new study says bats have a wider vocal range than Mariah Carey according to Daily Mail.
Researchers say that bats have a wider vocal range than Mariah Carey, and they use the same technique used by death metal singers for some sounds. Scientists from the University of Southern Denmark filmed a bat’s larynx while it was producing sound.
Professor Coen Elemans says that “Some human singers can reach a range of four to five” octaves with their voice, like Mariah Carey, Axl Rose, and Prince, but bats have a vocal range of seven. He says bats make a low growling noise like a death metal singer when they fly in or out of a crowded roost.
Speaking of Mariah. Billboard reports the queen of Christmas will be belting her heart out with a teen TV sensation. Well, you won’t have to imagine much longer: the latest unlikely, but potentially iconic collab is Mariah Carey and Millie Bobby Brown.
Mariah Carey revealed this upcoming partnership on “The Tonight Show,” where she also promoted her Christmas concerts this season and her newly released children’s book “The Christmas Princess.”
How did this friendship come to be? Carey actually just teamed up with the “Stranger Things” actress to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Carey’s album “Butterfly” on TikTok, where the duo (along with Jake Bongiovi and Carey’s kids) recreated the opening of the “Honey” music video.
MBB told Jimmy Fallon in October that the pair “have sung together…like in her studio sung together.” But as for their upcoming collab, Carey hinted that “maybe it’s not just musical. I don’t know. I can’t say what it is.”
