Effects of Sound on Tiger Salamanders

[shmifty5]

i have a A m m (blotched not barred) and its current location is near my computers speakers, what are the adverse effects of constant sound on tigers?

i can imagine that a constant monologue would build up its tolerance with people but im worried that it will overtly stress the little guy, the sound isn't very loud at all and i watch alot of playthroughs with commentary so its mainly some guy talking.

has there been any research in the effects of sound in regards to developement?

just curious.

I don't think salamanders can actually hear sounds, I've heard that they feel vibrations as opposed to hearing sounds. But I'm not an expert so don't take what I say as the truth unless someone who knows for sure comes along and says so. With my Tiger I usually have the t.v. on the whole time when I am in the room and it doesn't seem to bother him. In fact it seems like he enjoys sitting and watching the t.v. at times. He'll sometimes sort of sit in his tank facing the t.v. for hours. I'm thinking he might be attracted to the flashing light of the t.v. screen maybe.

thanks, i recall hearing something similiar to them relying on vibrations, it's just that he always seems to look at me when i speek to him or mention his name so i wanted to double check that the sound wouldn't harm him.

in anycase he is no in my 20 gallon long that is on top of my desk and away from my speakers so the sound isn't really a issue anymore, i'd still like to know if they have ever done a study on the effects of prolonged exposure to sound in caudates.
