  The low growling, groaning sound of an alligator.

Spectrogram of an American alligator. Spectrograms are graphs that visualize sounds. The brightness of the colors shows sounds’ amplitude (loudness) across different frequencies (pitches), shown from bottom to top, and over time, from left to right. This spectrogram visualizes an alligator's deep, rumbling growls.
