Kuwo wonke umlando, ukuzwa nomsindo kuye kwahlelwa ngokomongo wokuthi umsindo udlulisela kanjani ulwazi nokuthi lolo lwazi lumthinta kanjani umlaleli. Ithi “Yizwa Lapho Sikhona” iguqula lesi sisekelo futhi ihlole ukuthi abantu nezinye izilwane ezizwayo basebenzisa kanjani umsindo ukuze bakhe ubudlelwano bokuzwakala nendawo ezizungezile. 

Lokhu kuguqulwa okulula kwembula i-panoply yamathuba esingakwazi ngawo ukuhlola kabusha ukuthi izilwane ezizwayo zisebenzisa kanjani, zikhiqize, futhi zizwakale kanjani umsindo. I-nuance in vocalizations iba izimpawu zokuyenga noma ukubeka umngcele; ukuthula kuba yinkundla evuthwe emathubeni okuzwa; ubudlelwano bezilwane ezizingelayo/izilwane ezifuywayo bufakwe ngokukhohlisa okuzwakalayo, futhi imisindo ethathwe njengezimpawu zendawo iba indwangu yemiphakathi esebenzisanayo yomsindo. Lokhu kuguqulwa kuphinde kwandise umongo wokubona komsindo kumbono omkhulu ogxile ekuzivumelaniseni nebhayoloji ngaphakathi kwezindawo zokuhlala ezizwakalayo. Lapha, amaphethini okundiza avunyelaniswa ngokushesha ezinyoni ezibuthana kanye nokuqondisa okuqinile kwezinhlanzi ezifunda esikoleni kuba ukusebenzelana kwe-acoustic. Ngokunjalo, lapho amakhilikithi adlalayo evumelanisa ukutshiyoza kwawo kwakusihlwa ehlobo, kuhlobene kakhulu 'nomphakathi wekhilikithi' oqapha imingcele yawo ehlangene kunokuba amakhilikithi angawodwana asungule indawo 'yomuntu siqu' noma ukufaneleka kokuzalanisa. 

Encwadini ethi “Yizwa Lapho Sikhona” umbhali uphonsela inselelo ngokuqhubekayo eziningi ze-bio-acoustic orthodoxies, ehlela kabusha lonke uphenyo lube umbono ozwakalayo nokuxhumana. Ngokudlulela ngale kokucatshangelwa kwethu okujwayelekile, izimfihlakalo eziningi zokuziphatha kwe-acoustical ziye zambulwa, zidalule i-panorama entsha nevundile ye-acoustical experience nokuzijwayeza (kusuka e-Amazon).
