What does the northern barred woodcreeper sound like?

The recordings here are labelled as song/call, alarm call and song. 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).
