Before leaving, the animal will be careful to kick all of the dung off of their feet, discarding the smell of the other animal. When the rhinos encounter one another, they will use their vocal sounds to communicate. ... These sounds include squeals, snorts, moos, growls and even a trumpet sound.

Infrasonic range is generally considered to be between 1 and 20 Hz.

Some rhinoceros sounds are infrasonic—below the range of human hearing. Researcher Elizabeth von Muggenthaler discovered this in 1990, when she inadvertently picked up an infrasonic sound made by a rhino while trying to record that of an elephant. Some of these infrasonic sounds are quite resonant and powerful. The whistle-blow of the Sumatran rhinoceros, for instance, has a strong infrasonic content. The sound, which is a whistle followed immediately by a burst of air, is capable of causing 7-inch iron bars to resonate, and may carry up to 12 miles in a rhino's natural habitat.
