Red - Winged - Blackbird Song

This is a humpback whale "Purr" a.k.a. LFH-F-1 call.  In my research this is the most commonly detected call type.

Voices in Science

Humpback whales produce a wide variety of non-song vocalizations, or "Social Sounds".  This particular vocalization was recorded in Frederick Sound, Southeast Alaska, in summer of 2012.

In fall 2014 and spring 2015, passive acoustic data were collected via autonomous gliders east of Guam in an area that included the Mariana Trench Marine National Monument. A short (2–4 s), complex sound was recorded that features a ∼38 Hz moan with both harmonics and amplitude modulation, followed by broad-frequency metallic-sounding sweeps up to 7.5 kHz. This sound was recorded regularly during both fall and spring surveys. Aurally, the sound is quite unusual and most resembles the minke whale “Star Wars” call. It is likely this sound is biological and produced by a baleen whale.

The Oregon State Research Collective for Applied Acoustics (ORCAA) is a bioacoustics lab run by Dr. Holger Klinck at the Hatfield Marine Science Center.  Sound clips found here were recorded by students and contributers to the lab.  We specialize in marine and terrestrial animal acoustics spanning from sperm whales to chorus frogs.
