I'm not sure if it is a juvenile WBS-Eagle call, but rather, their normal
distress/warning call!?
MANY years ago, while at Hattah-Kulkyne NP in NW Vic, we heard very strange
overhead noises. From recollection something like a cross between upset
chooks, ducks and cockatoos. On investigation we found a (nesting) pair of
WBSE having an aerial altercation with a passing Wedge-tailed Eagle.
To our amazement, as we watched these 3 birds' aerial  interactions, they
were dived on, from above, by a Peregrine Falcon!
Very strange noises,
Wendy
