Although the songs of humpback whales have been extensively studied; other vocalizations and percussive sounds; referred to as social sounds; have received little attention. This study presents the social vocalization repertoire of migrating east Australian humpback whales from a sample of 660 sounds recorded from 61 groups of varying composition; over three years. The social vocalization repertoire of humpback whales was much larger than previously described with a total of 34 separate call types classified aurally and by spectrographic analysis as well as statistically. Of these; 21 call types were the same as units of the song current at the time of recording but used individually instead of as part of the song sequence; while the other 13 calls were stable over the three years of the study and were not part of the song. This study provides a catalog of sounds that can be used as a basis for future studies. It is an essential first step in determining the function; contextual use and cultural transmission of humpback social vocalizations. © 2007 Acoustical Society of America;
