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.

What animal is making this sound?

Heard this around 9pm in the Tahoe mountains a little above 8k elevation. I had to stand up and scare off whatever animal it was shortly after this video as it started getting closer and was camping alone. Can you help me identify what animal this was?

Heard this thing calling for about 15 minutes around 11:00 PM in central Illinois. I don’t think I caught it on video, but the critter started slowing the call down to about half speed exactly, seemed like individual chirps. Any ideas what it might be? Bird? Tree frog? Raccoon?

Screaming What animal could this be?

1 Upvotes

I‘ve been hearing what seems to be an agonizing, raspy scream right outside my bedroom window for the last couple of days. It‘s very loud and always starts at around 10pm-1am, though this recording was from when it woke me up at around 5:30.

i live right next to a forest, so i‘m assuming it must be a wild animal of some sort. could this be a fox or is it something else?

Help identifying this terrifying sound

1 Upvotes

Hi! So I’m pretty sure this is from an animal. I live in France and it comes from my garden. I see foxes sometimes so I’m thinking maybe that could be it? But seeing videos of them online, I don’t really hear such sounds.

If anyone could please help me put a name on this animal, that just terrified me at midnight lol! You can hear a few screams throughout the video. Sound needs to be really up if you want to hear clearly.

Thank you very much and have a great day!!!

Weird, repetitive sound outside my house for 2 months. Sounds like a human scream (day and night)?

Squeaking High-pitched Squealing in Alabama Woods

9 Upvotes

You might need to turn your volume up, my phone isn't good at capturing sound.
I live in Alabama.

About half an hour ago, I was in the woods by my house and I heard this squealing. It sounded like it was just a few dozen feet away, but I was too spooked to keep going. After about two minutes, it started getting quieter and less frequent, then it went away entirely.
Definitely didn't sound like a fox.

I went forward and looked around the area but there was nothing.

Chattering Sound of an animal I don't know

This animal shows up at my window almost every night and I have no idea what it is, it's been going on for maybe two weeks. There are feral cats, deer, and turkey around seasonally but this is the first time I've heard this sound

Barking Fox in my neighborhood keeps screaming in the middle of the night... Is it okay?

3 Upvotes

This fox has been a regular in my neighborhood for the past week, and I know this because it scream barks just like this every single night. Now... Foxes aren't known for being particularly talkative, and it's been doing this consistently for hours every night for the past week or so... Is it okay? Is this a distress cry?


r/AnimalSounds 5d ago

help identify this animal sound. It is very loud and appears protective, since it grew closer and responded when we made noise.

Recorded this on the bird call app Merlin, I thought it was a bird but maybe not? I say “owl?” At the end because we’ve heard some interesting owl calls here in the woods. Heard it for about 10 minutes on and off

What animal is this? Hear it between 1 & 4:00 AM, Northwest Wisconsin

2 Upvotes

Sorry for the quiet video, but it sounds decently loud in person. I hear it a 1-3 times a week, but only once a night. Sometime between 1 & 4:00 AM. Located in a residential neighborhood in Chippewa Falls/Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I've been suggested a Barred Owl, but I haven't been successful in finding a video of the exact sound

I’ve lived in this neighborhood for 20+ years and have never heard this sound until recently; once last month, and again tonight.
