About this sound
A pair of wolves from the Riley Creek pack howl near park Headquarters. Recorded by the Hines Creek Sound Station.
Why parks record sound
The NPS Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division monitors soundscapes in parks across the United States. Natural quiet is treated as a resource to protect, like clean air or dark skies: noise from aircraft, vehicles and machinery can mask animal communication and change the experience of a place.
