What do bats sound like on a Bat Detector?
The answer to this question depends on the exact species of bat in your area, but basically you will hear a series of clicks, tocks and smacks that vary in rhythm, duration and structure. You will hear the ever present and amazing “feeding buzz” as a bat closes in on a flying insect and finally devours it. High intensity bat calls will be heard as small screams or chirps. Bat calls vary greatly and there is much information “hidden” in these short burst of sound energy. Using a personal computer (PC) with a bat detector allows you to record and then “slow down” these bats calls.
