Yes the researchers have a lot of catching up to do to get a handle on what these turtles are saying, but even now another Pleurodira, Podocnemis has been found to be doing the same thing. Until recently turtles were called "the silent group" by zoologists. And the Coelacanth DNA studies seem to be a strike against relict reptile fans.

While I think the Chelodina oblonga acoustic findings are tentative in their current state and that the claims of Lake Champlain echolocation certainly warrant more scrutiny, these are tantalizing thoughts. Great point on the debate over coelacanths being legitimate 'living fossils' genetically, by the way, I hadn't taken that into consideration previously.
