[[Singer]]s speak to rhythms to express their feelings or to assign their words specific meaning.{{book ref|sa2|i|1}} When not paying attention, singers will attune to the rhythm that corresponds to their mood, but they can attune to another rhythm in order to fit with their message. Not all [[Singer#Forms|forms]] can hear the rhythms equally; dullforms hear them only partially, while singers in slaveform cannot hear them at all.{{book ref|sa3|55}} The rhythms Connect the singers, and the various singer songs are sung to different rhythms.{{wob ref|9937}}{{wob ref|6482}}

|Chiri-Chiri did not always understand the mouth noises of the soft ones. They did not click, and there was no rhythm to them. So the sounds were sometimes just noises.

[[Rysn|Rysn's]] larkin [[Chiri-Chiri]] seems to be able to hear rhythms, including the Rhythm of Contentment, though whether larkin hear the same rhythms as the singers is unknown.

Apart from singers and larkin, humans also seem to have limited capability to hear rhythms. Humans with singer ancestry, such as [[Unkalaki]], can occassionally catch them, albeit very faintly.{{book ref|sa3|37}} A [[Feruchemy|Feruchemical]] [[Connection]] medallion would be able to interpret the rhythms, albeit not very accurately.{{wob ref|753}} [[Allomancer]]s capable of burning [[bronze]] would be able to hear them on [[Roshar]];{{wob ref|2031}} conversely, if a singer were to become a Seeker, they'd find bronze pulses familiar, though strange.{{wob ref|11606}}
There are also other species in the [[cosmere]] capable of hearing the rhythms, but what they are is currently unknown.{{wob ref|3662}}
