I wonder if this sound is picked up by the hydrophone monitoring system, but never explored because of the pecking order of the organizations that operate them.

They sound like 5 year olds who have just found an abandoned kitten at the park, don't they? Can you see this kind of people withholding measurements because of pecking order issues?
