Who Are We?
Welcome! Ecosounds is a repository of environmental audio recordings. This website facilitates the management, access, visualization, and analysis of environmental acoustic data. It uses the Acoustic Workbench software which is is open source and available from GitHub.
The website is run by QUT Ecoacoustics to support bioacoustics and ecoacoustics research.
What We Do
Our Goal
We host, manage, explore, and visualize ecoacoustic data. Providing the results and tools we develope free of charge to anyone who is interested
Environment
We locate various environments which may have interesting or important faunal vocalisations and other human-audible environmental sounds
Acoustics Sensors
We, and our partners, place acoustic sensors in a wide range of environments allowing us to study the local fauna
Annotated Spectrogram
Practical identification of animal sounds by people and automated detectors. Ecologists use these to answer environmental questions.
Collaboration
Finally, we make the results of our research, and the tools we have developed, available to the public
View Some Projects
You can browse some public projects and audio recordings without logging in. To participate in the analysis work you will need to log in with an existing account or register for a new account. Don't worry its free and easy!

Powerful Owl Project
Survey locations for Powerful Owls, Yellow Bellied Gliders and other vocal species. Primarily nocturnal recordings but usually inclusive of dawn and dusk. Did our AI actually hear a Powerful Owl? We need your ears to...
AFWI Monitoring fauna trends in managed forests
Monitoring fauna trends in managed forests. Project Partners: Charles Sturt University, Forestry Corporation of New South Wales, Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, The University of New England and University of Southern Queensland
Sponsors
This work has been supported through several grants. The most recent of which is the ARDC Platforms project. Open Ecoacoustics currently sponsors development of the workbench thanks to the ARDC Platforms project. See doi.org/10.47486/PL050 for more details.
