Hey everyone, I’m trying to identify a wild animal vocalization I’ve been hearing and hoping someone familiar with wildlife sounds might recognize it.
The Sound: It sounds very similar to a dog whining, yipping, and barking, but it’s definitely a wild animal.
Timing: It only happens at night, usually popping up every couple of weeks.
Location/Habitat: High up in the mountains, heard across a few different areas/trails rather than just one spot.

I live in the very top of Washington state US .
I know what elk, deer, owls, possums, raccoons, eagles, crow, coyotes, dogs , and cats sound like.
Never have I heard this in my 24y living here!!
Did it about 30 seconds apart. Lasted about 20 minutes then nothing.

Volume all the way up. I’m an avid user of Merlin and it wasn’t able to pick it up, so maybe it’s not a bird at all lol, we’ve got turkeys bears coyotes and all kinds of birds back here; it’s been driving me crazy.

We live in the woods of rural Virginia and heard this call/bark multiple times last night and couldn't figure out what it was. Any help appreciated

Located in western Washington and this is the first time we’ve heard this. Having trouble identifying what it could be. Any ideas?

Ignore the man-made background noise it was 2 a.m. and 75 feet from my bedroom window. This is in linn County Oregon and I am only trying to identify to know if it's a smaller predator or a young cougar that has invaded our property. We have 2 horses and young cougars are dumb enough to try to take one down. The adults are smarter than to attack a healthy hooved animal. I know a little about their habits but not familiar enough for the different sounds they make other than chirping and screaming. Facebook has it narrowed down to Cougar, bobcat or fox. Any help identifying would be greatly appreciated

At 8:30 pm i heard this sound from the window but no app could identify it because of the ambulance and motorcycle sound in the background. Does anyone know which type of bird thid is?

October/Turkey

I don’t recall ever hearing this before and I’ve lived here for twenty years. I appreciate your help.

Location: Twin Cities, Minnesota

Anyone know what this animal is with the crying sounds this morning.

HELP! What is this noise in my ceiling 😭😭😭 #pennsylvania #noise #HELP Ceilingpests

I heard this weird screeching noise in the forest behind my house last night and this night, I haven't been able to see anything with the light.

From North Carolina near the woods and it sounded like it was in a tree

I also live by a very wooded creek if that’s helpful. Trying to figure this one out. Thanks

I’ve been hearing this sound around midnight for a few days. Could anyone help identify please? My best guess is a coyote bird so clearly could use some assistance!

In Orange County, California and at night if that helps at all

Recorded from on my door step at 1am. At first I thought Coyotes and a dog but now im doubting it... Okanagan, B.C.

listen near the end it gets poppin off lol. i told myself it was foxes but i honestly have no idea. (South Eastern PA)

Hi! Northeastern US- heard this noise when taking my dogs out- it’s like a whistle. Any insight is greatly appreciated 😁

audio

So I live in central Poland and I cannot indentify this bird sound. Firstly, I didn't even think it was a bird as it sounds more like a phone notification but then I heard it flying above me and sometimes I hear him in the trees when I'm on a walk in the forest and now I'm sure it's a bird. He sings very rarely but when he does, even after a year when I first discovered him, I wonder what kind he is. Does anyone know what kind of bird is that?

EDIT: I've tried Merlin Bird ID but it's really hard to record it as it sings very rarely. It's a miracle that I managed to record the audio once (by accident btw, while filming something different)
