Abstract
Wood boring organisms such as shipworms and gribbles make characteristic
sounds as they actively bore into wood. In the laboratory these sounds
isolated from ambient noise have been recorded and analyzed. In habor areas
infested piles and seawalls are usually covered with fouling growth such as
barnacles, and the noise created by feeding barnacles and other foulers make
it impossible to detect the soft low intensity sounds of wood borers
