Animal Sounds Collection
This dataset contains audio recordings of various animal vocalizations from a range of species, curated to support research in bioacoustics, species classification, and sound event detection. It includes clean and annotated audio samples from the following animals:
- Birds
- Dogs
- Egyptian fruit bats
- Giant otters
- Macaques
- Orcas
- Zebra finches
The dataset is designed to be lightweight and modular, making it easy to explore cross-species vocal behaviors or train models for species-specific tasks.
This work is inspired by the excellent Earth Species Project Library of Datasets.
