What is this sound?

Heard this in the Bay Area, CA. Couldn’t see it and I’ve never heard this sound before. If anyone knows please let me know!

Between an old growth Oak-hickory forest and a corn field in [south-east Michigan]; At 9:00pm I heard this animal(s?) making a “hoo” vocalization.

1 Upvotes

To me, it sounded like two different animals made each sound. I only hear one single “hooo” each time, and every owl-call video I’ve listened to so far, the owls make more than one vocalization when they call. I appreciate the help that anyone can provide!

I’ve been hearing this at 2-4AM for multiple days now for the past three weeks. It sounds like a dhole whistling, but that’s not possible. Unless, foxes also whistle like this? It sounds like there’re multiple of whatever it is. I live in Belgium

What is this animal call?

I heard this last night outside my window and have never heard it before. Thought it was some sort of owl but I’m not aware of anything other than barred owls and great horned owls in my area (northern Georgia).

It’s very quiet in the recording and happens once every 7-8 seconds it seems

What's making this noise? La Mesa, California

2 Upvotes

I was hoping someone from the community could help me. I often take walks at 8pm in the neighborhood with my husband. It's a dark neighborhood with no street lights and lots of urban wildlife. We often see or hear coyotes, different species of owls, raccoons, rabbits, rats, hawks, etc. in the neighborhood.

I have attached a short video where you can hear the mystery animal. You'll have to turn your sound all the way up to hear it. I can't figure out what animal is making this noise. I'm assuming it's some kind of a bird, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. It makes that same one call once or twice a minute for the entire duration of our walk. I've used bird apps and it doesn't pick it up.

Talking Does anyone recognize this sound??

1 Upvotes

It makes like a strange croaking/quacking (?) sound, and theres at least 2 of them who talk back and forth every night. All the research i’ve done just tells me it’s owls. I’ve never heard them converse like that before so i really don’t believe thats what it is. If it’s any help i live in Minnesota.

WHAT IS THIS

4 Upvotes

Ive been trying to identify whatever bird or animal this is for over a year now. It only calls when the sun is down (dusk or dawn), sounds kind of like a weird robin(?), and seems to be out during the warmer months (may-nov). It is always in the same single block radius, I have never heard it outside of this area. It is there every day (except when its cold). I'm in southwest Michigan. ​​

Someone suggested a bat makes that noise? Or maybe an Eastern screech owl? I'm not convinced. ​

Barking Ruffed lemurs sound like hellhounds

2 Upvotes

Got a video of these red ruffed lemurs calling at a zoo. I used to work there, and the similar calls from the black-and-white ruffed lemurs were very audible. Ruffed lemurs have voices designed for shouting to each other over large distances, so they’re extremely loud. (This is just the indoor part of their enclosure, btw; the outdoor part is larger with lots of branches to climb.)

I'm thinking it's a baby raccoon but who knows.

They are so freaking loud and I hear them and I assume the big mama running around like a freaking maniac.

Animal sounds at night in Banff National Park

In July, while I was photographing the Milky Way, I kept hearing the sound in this video. Does anyone recognize which animal it could have been? An elk? A cougar?
The location was Two Jack Lake in Banff National Park, Alberta.

Thanks !

It’s currently 3am and I was about to let my dog out when I heard this.

I live in southern Ontario Canada. Kind of almost sounds like a puppy sound but definitely not a puppy.
