About the Bird-voiced tree frog
The Bird-voiced tree frog is a amphibian in the family Hylidae (order Anura).
What does the Bird-voiced tree frog sound like?
Frog and toad calls are produced by males, who inflate a vocal sac to amplify the sound. Choruses are loudest on warm, humid nights in the breeding season, and each species' call has its own pitch, rhythm and pulse rate.
The recordings here are labelled as hyla avivoca call. Listen for differences in rhythm, pitch and repetition – the spectrum display makes it easy to see whether a sound is a pure whistle (a thin line), a harsh call (a broad band) or a trill (rapid repeated marks).
