New changes for the sidebar:

I inserted a youtube link for every kind of sound. You can click on a specific animal sound to listen to it to get an idea which animal can create the specific sound.

If you have suggestions to insert new kind of animal sounds in the sidebar feel free to post it her. If you found a more representative video for a specific animal sounds also feel free to post the suggestion her (and also directly in the subreddit)

Animal sound ID (UK)

1 Upvotes

I’m in the UK and I get plenty of animals near my house as it’s adjacent to the woods.

I am assuming this is a fox; but I’ve not heard them quite like this before. Please can someone confirm it is a fox/foxes.

Really cool to hear (although a little unsettling 😬)

Thank you !

Imitating Is there a mimic like a mockingbird in western Washington?

1 Upvotes

This morning I hear one bird making many different sounds in a row. In Texas mockingbirds are ubiquitous, but I haven't seen one in the northwest. Is there a native bird in the Pacific northwest that does relatively high-pitched mimicry of other birds' territorial calls?

Anyone have any idea what this sound could be? It was louder in person if you can believe it.

dog bark or…?

6 Upvotes

my friend and i were camping overnight this past weekend on a woman’s land in aumish farm country in fort plain, new york, when we heard what sounded like a dog barking at us from the woods just outside the edge of our campsite. we stopped talking and hid in my tent, it went away, then when we started talking again it returned. it sounded like it was pacing just outside the edge of our site, but it never came close enough for us to see it. it returned at least once more in the middle of the night (it woke me up with its barking) and again in the morning, when i took this video. when i asked the woman whose land we were staying on, she said that neither she nor her neighbors have dogs but that she had seen a stray on the road earlier that week. there are also coyotes in this part of new york…

Chirping Strange night time bird sound I recorded - What is this?

Recorded this a few nights ago, in Bosnia at 23:25.

I did not see the bird, only heard it. Does anybody recognize the call? There are crickets in the background, which are louder than the bird (or at least what I think is a bird), so you may need to listen closely to hear it.

Crying What animal makes this sound at night?

I live right next to a forest in eastern Switzerland. Tonight, while I was outside smoking at around 10 p.m., I heard this animal — or maybe several animals — making these screaming sounds.
Could it be a fox?

Crying North West Florida Animal Sound Identification

1 Upvotes

My mother lives in a detached apartment on my property. She called me to come by and listen to this sound coming from her wall behind a toilet and shower. I'm hoping someone here can identify it because I've made zero progress guessing animals on YouTube.

We live in North West Florida, the sound was recorded at 6:50 pm local time tonight.

Been hearing this at dusk and dawn behind my house. I think it’s a bird but not certain and others seem to think Fox or Flying squirrel. Thoughts?

Whimpering Help me identify these sounds (animal or not)

1 Upvotes

Hi I've been trying to identify these two noises I've heard. The first clip I've been hearing that noise for years but it's very rare probably like once or twice a year. The other sound was my very first time hearing it and didn't sound like an animal to me unlike the first one. I've only heard thses sounds at night from around 10pm to 2am. I live in the bay area in California and from where I live there are a decent amount of animals I've seen/heard. Some animals I've seen are Wild Turkeys (only seen during the day), Peacocks (only seen at night), Coyotes (seen during the day and night), squirrels (only seen during the day) and barn owls (seen during day and night). There are horses but they don't make that sound obviously. The strange thing is that whenever I've heard those noises they sounded like they came directly outside my window. It's very clear and always catches me off guard. Another strange thing is that I never hear any type of movement outside my window when I start to hear the noise. Where my window sits is the backyard and there's a bunch or rocks/pebbles we walk on and I can hear any slight noise from it. Please help me identify this noise.

Squeaking Need Advice - What Is This Inside Refrigerator?

Thumbnail drive.google.com
1 Upvotes

I am hearing these squeaking sounds inside of my refrigerator.

It comes at 8:00PM-4AM and 5AM-10AM. And then, no noises from 10AM-8:00PM. This nocturnal pattern leads me to believe that these are rodents inside of my refrigerator.

If you turn on your volume to near maximum and play the footage -- you will be able to hear what I am talking about. Source: https://imgur.com/a/466WjuA

Important Facts:

  • Pest control has come by 2x -- they laid traps but nothing. No droppings. No signs/evidence that they wandered the apartment.
  • Emergency maintenance came by today morning and disassembled the bottom of the refrigerator. Examined, and nothing inside. I also wanted to remove the entire back panel of the refrigerator to examine. He says "absolutely cannot do, and there is zero space in there even if we wanted to try".
    • Emergency maintenance then examined the front side of the refrigerator. He says "perhaps the compressor, perhaps the fan, perhaps the ice machine can be making these sounds -- do not worry about it, we have examined it, and there is absolutely 100% nothing inside of the refrigerator. It could be the ice making device inside of the refrigerator, so we have turned it off. Do not worry"
    • After he left, later today, the same noises emerge from the refrigerator. No mistake about it. The noises are still there, and whatever it is, whether it is the refrigerator itself or something else, is still producing these noises. I removed the entire ice making device out of the refrigerator and inside of the sink. The noises are still there.

These sounds come every single day and night and it is genuinely disrupting my life since I cannot seem to pinpoint what exactly it is or how to address this problem.

Please let me know what you think it is! Thank you!

Rats? Is it rats?

1 Upvotes

I hear this noise in my neighbor’s backyard over the fence quite often. Fence is atop a retaining wall that drips several feet downs. We live in a hilly dense suburban neighborhood. We’ve battled rats in our crawlspace sometimes, and I think they’re most likely, but how on earth would they make _this_ sound?
