So they scoured audio libraries until they found dolphin sounds that were definitely recorded out in the ocean instead of from dolphins in captivity somewhere, and the kids did a complete 180 and said they liked the sounds now. The engineers swore they couldn't hear any difference between the two kinds of dolphins, but all the kids agreed that the ocean dolphins were "happy."
