Significance Audiovocal feedback control is essential to speech, a uniquely human product. Yet the foundations of our acoustic communication system share mechanisms with other mammals. We discovered that bat echolocation and human speech rely on common computational principles for audiovocal feedback control. This finding demonstrates that general mechanisms can be uncovered through comparative studies.
