DESCRIPTION:
- In Bat Echolocation, get a collection of unheard sounds from North American bats. Hear powerful clicks that sound like alien languages and musical pings that ring for ages. Hear laser-like chirps and the feeding buzz of bats on the hunt. Hear a batnado as millions of Mexican free-tailed bats exit their cave and swarm with starling-like murmurations.
- This library offers you a collection of sounds not normally heard by human hears. With a little pitch shifting, this ultrasonic world is at your fingertips. I find unheard sounds fascinating, I hope you enjoy them too. Thanks for listening.
DEMO:
- This demo is made up of pitch shifted sounds. Otherwise you would not be able to hear them :)
- All sounds included in library are ultrasonic other than the BATNADO swarm from 3:00 to end.
KEY FEATURES:
- Swarming BATNADO of millions of Mexican free-tailed bats
- laser-like chirps
- resonant pings
- powerful searching clicks
- single bats and duets
- feeding buzz: accelerating attack clicks
- Most included files are above the range of human hearing. So they must be varispeed pitch shifted to be used for sound design.
- I recommend -60% to -98% varispeed pitch shifting.
- Ultrasonic bat echolocation clicks ranging from 20 kHz to 90 kHz
- North American bat species from 5 different locations

- Named markers are included in each file to help find interesting events in an otherwise uniform waveform.
LIBRARY INFO:
- I recommend -50% to -98% varispeed pitch shifting for sound design usage. Therefore, the 38 minutes of included sounds functions as a much larger collection of 2+ hours of material.
