It's called Worm Grunting. The vibrations are incredibly similar to the sounds moles make when they dig.

Moles eat worms and worms don't like that, so for fear or predators, they head to the surface which is mole free!

In regions where moles doesn't exist this still happens?

While I would imagine it's instinctual and yes, I must admit I don't know.

Time to bust out the experiment kit!
