Two researchers carried out an investigation into the noise exposure of one of the aquariums due to the visitors in the Schönbrunn Zoo in Vienna, and found some surprising results.
They hid an underwater microphone in a one cubic metre aquarium to register the effects of visitors tapping on the glass.
