I'd never noticed the pitch being that low, but sure enough, putting my ear
close, the fundamental seems to get down purr-etty low. There's plenty of
nice high wheezy overtones though, and I think that's the sound I've usually
been more aware of.

Now, I wonder what frequency (besides always) the wonderful beast sheds
at...
