Recent experiments with 'passive' sonar sensors show even human built sensors can use *ambient* sound to build up a picture of the environs. The researchers were amused to find that a loud noise like a ship going by actually *improved* their sensor array's resolution instead of interfering. They figure this explains why dolphins have been observed to occasionally alter course to intercept shoals of fish, etc even without emitting sonar pulses (which would presumably alert their prey)...
Mind you, I guess the dolphins might just have been using their eyes!
