A documentary film crew hit upon a novel technique to attract great white sharks – blasting death metal through an underwater speaker.
Desperate to feature the 16-foot, 1.6 ton shark in their documentary, they submerged a speaker to see if the shark would react. Unfortunately, they didn’t manage to attract Joan but did catch the attention of two others, one of which was 12 feet long.Sharks ‘hear’ by picking up vibrations from receptors on their bodies, meaning they can be attracted to the low-frequency vibrations of heavy music, which apparently sounds like struggling fish.
