Map of forest sounds from around the world

Real nice resource!

And if any geeks want to get involved with adding to the recordings but don’t want to invest much, I have a raspberry pi recorder project that can help. It even runs on a pi zero.

As an added bonus, if what you are recording can be heard on three recorders or more you can sound localize with them. Find out where that wood pecker is pecking from for example.

Lastly. You can synchronise the time on all your computers with it as it doubles as a time server with sub-microsecond time accuracy.

(PS. Love the comments about New Zealand here, I’m from New Zealand :-) )

A similar project is radio aporee, a huge corpus of field recordings from all over the world (see the "maps" section for searching etc): https://aporee.org/

Wow, this has many more recordings & a larger variety! Thanks for sharing

What's so fascinating about projects like Aporee is the peculiar feeling one gets while listening to several of those field recordings in a row: here is a captured moment of reality that we will never get back. It's a moment of reality, a soundscape, that will never ever repeat in its 100% trueness or authencity. This gives an odd angle to think about the passing of time. [end of esotheric rant, hm]
