Those are interesting, and not to get all greedy and stuff, but anyone know of similar archives above 96 KBPS? posted by StickyCarpet at 12:50 PM on December 13, 2006
The seals are my personal faves. Check out Weddell or Bearded seals for some pretty cool fx... or the Hawaiian monk seals if you want your co-workers inquiring about your gastrointestinal health. posted by bloomicy at 1:35 PM on December 13, 2006
StickyCarpet, there are some larger birdsong files at Nature Songs. For those that are compressed, the site owner, Doug Von Gausig, specifically says that "more exacting sound collectors are encouraged to contact me for larger, unedited and unfiltered versions of these sounds." There is also an array of larger bioacoustic files (of many different kinds of animals) at Avisoft.
Ha, bloomicy -- I'll add a suggestion to play the whale song for your cats, have you any. Extreme mellowness, purring, and affection may follow, if my sample (N = 2) is at all representative. posted by melissa may at 1:42 PM on December 13, 2006
Fascinating.
My dogs immediately started scanning our Christmas tree
for wrens and became a little agitated when they heard the wolves howling. posted by MasonDixon at 3:48 PM on December 13, 2006
The audio on the Satin Bowerbird link didn't play for me, so I don't know if it's the same as this, but if not, the video is worth a watch. posted by quin at 4:22 PM on December 13, 2006
Awesome sounds and site, melissa may. Way cool.
StickyCarpet, is this MeFi link of any help? posted by nickyskye at 5:06 PM on December 13, 2006
