Hey Roberto & Wade, Yes, bubble blowing (and ‘raspberry’/’farting’ (through the blowhole, not the anus) -  at the surface) noise are not uncommon.  I got some great ones of raspberry blowing the other day, on video, up at Whangaparoa.  It is also not uncommon to hear other vocalizations (especially when you are in a kayak, which is close to the water, acts like an acoustic drum, and has no engine noise).   Hope this helps Best wishes ingrid   ________________________ Ingrid N.
