  Audio Transcript

  The rhythmic cawing sounds of a raven's call.

Spectrogram of Common Raven. Spectrograms are graphs that visualize sounds. The brightness of the colors shows sounds’ amplitude (loudness) across different frequencies (pitches), shown from bottom to top, and over time, from left to right. This spectrogram visualizes one of a raven's more common calls, a mid-frequency caw. Listen for the slight lift in pitch at the center.
