RE: Bioacoustic sound library resources

["" <>]

While not technically a repository, I have a frog call blog that includes frog recordings for 90+ species of frogs (and some frog mimics). 

Most are from the US, but there are a number from Australia and a few other spots around the globe.

 

They are available to anyone who wants to use them under the https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ license.

dosits.org and fishbase.org have some pretty extensive libraries for fish, marine mammals, and underwater anthropogenic sounds as well!

Dear Colleagues,

 

At the end of this email, I compiled a list of 16+ sound libraries containing different animals.   I classified them according to their copyright license requirements, to the best of what I could find.  I figured others in the community may appreciate these resources too.  I am sure I am missing several so please feel free to add to the list!   Please reply to me (or the whole group if appropriate) with any comments, corrections to make, and/or questions.

 

In brief, after years of conducting sound and vibration research, I am now a freelance science communicator.  In part, this includes creating videos. Videos are best with sound and I am sure at one point I will want to use the sounds of animals that I have not personally recorded. 

 

As part of my freelance work, I also do writing, editing, graphics, and well...whatever else my imagination creates.  If you are interested in working with me on a project, please feel free to contact me.  Honestly, I am still building my different types of freelance work and welcome suggestions. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Shira
