Most definitely.

Blue whales are going quiet — and researchers are deeply concerned.
A new study led by Cornell University’s K. Lisa Yang Center for Conservation Bioacoustics and published in Frontiers in Marine Science has found that blue whale song intensity has dropped by nearly 40% over the past few decades.

These long-range songs are vital for communication, mating, and navigation. Scientists believe the sharp decline is linked to starvation and ecosystem disruption — as warming oceans reduce krill populations, whales expend less energy on vocalizing. This silencing could be a warning sign of widespread marine ecosystem stress.

As the ocean's largest species grows quieter, researchers warn that the change may signal a deeper environmental crisis.
