I'm not a marine biologist, but I would thing you might be inviting a
shark-feast (or a porpoise mating, or an octopus dance, or...) with
LF acoustic material of high amplitude.

But seriously, if the experiment has anything to do with animals,
I'd worry about blasting the tunes too loudly -- you might change
whatever it is you're trying to observe, even if you don't get mistaken
for an ailing tuna fish and get eaten by a shark first.
