> Not to start a dog vs cat war, but as someone who loves both, I think I can safely say that cats put much more information in their voices than dogs, for example.

My cat only gets really vocal when she wants something ( & usually only with me, not my kids or spouse). She also trills a lot, usually in surprise. Could be they compress the data - dogs are very chatty - maybe the cats focus on high throughput whereas the dogs go for low-latency.

I'd love to see the same analysis done with dog barks.

I really like that way of thinking about it. Cats hit the low latency pretty quick with the hissing, which is what the wild cats looked more like in this projects demo. Kinda makes sense.
