By now, we know the ocean is anything but silent. Fish grunt, whales moan, reefs roar with the deafening sound of snapping shrimp, and even natural sounds like waves and rain can be heard throughout the ocean.

Can we learn to be good neighbors and turn the noise down? On this final episode of The Sound Aquatic, we try to find out.
