The two areas that I have heard Boobooks quite a bit are the Central Coast
NSW and SE QLD Ravensbourne. The common call sounds like 'Morepork' than
'Boobook' to me with the first syllable being longish. However there is a
less known call that sounds much like the 'rusty hinge' call of the
Glossy-black Cockatoo that builds up to a repeated 'aow'. There is a snippet
of this call on one of David Stewart's CD's- www.naturesound.com.au.

In north Queensland the Boobook call is not as clear. it sounds as if
produced in the throat. They do make many other calls as well, including
screams and hissing, cackling noises made while bobbing their heads around
like a mechanical bull ride.
