Description
Digital recording and spectral analysis of alarm vocalizations to quantify entropy and goodness of pitch as measures of call structure and acoustic properties.
Typical Equipment
- Sony PCM digital recorder
- Audix OM-3xb microphones
- Audacity 2.13
- Raven Pro 1.5
- Sound Analysis Pro 2011
Output Measurements
- entropy values
- goodness of pitch
- number of energy bands
- call duration
