The sound was likened to words connected by a series of hums. The Fremen of Arrakis, and presumably assassins used distrans animals extensively as a form of covert communication. Typically, birds were the most common form of distrans employed in the days of the old Imperium. Bats were especially useful, as they could travel under the cover of night.
