 I'm
currently building a small sound library of grasshopper,
cricket and bush-cricket stridulations, mainly from
field recordings but also from indoor terrarium recordings.
Shortened MP3 versions of the original wave recordings can be sampled here. These sound recordings
have been made using various pieces of gear including
a short gun microphone or a stereo parabolic microphone
in the field and stereo lavalier microphones in
the 'lab'. Recordings have been cut and prepared for the web with
MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab.
Field notes and recording data, including GPS readings,
are compiled in a database.
Accompanying most sound recordings is a corresponding
sonogram or spectrogram for part of the sample. A spectrogram is a visual representation of
sound in a graphical form with frequency (analogous to pitch) in Hertz (wave
cycles of sound per second) on the y-axis, and time (in seconds) on the x-axis.
Oscillograms (amplitude vs time) are included at
various scales which show the rhythmic pattern of the
stridulation.
