That’s my point, by bringing it up in the article you can deflect most of the comments that would _try_ to turn the discussion towards race. Whether the author genuinely feels like that or not... who knows.

What's the opposite of a dog whistle?

I've read that elephants can produce very low frequency sounds (sub-20Hz) that travel long distances and can't be perceived by smaller animals.

"Elephant infrasound" just doesn't quite have the same ring to it as "dog whistle", though.

"Trunk call"?
