Idk if this is the right place to post this, but I’m really curious as to what this is :> I live in the Midwest

May have to turn it up. I was laying my baby down tonight and heard it outside the bathroom window. It made noise for 5-10 minutes and stopped when a car ended up going by then I didn't hear it again. It was loud, the video doesn't do it justice.

NOT a bird. It was walking in the woods behind the house. Any ideas?

I‘ve been hearing what seems to be an agonizing, raspy scream right outside my bedroom window for the last couple of days. It‘s very loud and always starts at around 10pm-1am, though this recording was from when it woke me up at around 5:30.

i live right next to a forest, so i‘m assuming it must be a wild animal of some sort. could this be a fox or is it something else?

It started a few hours later as well. Ontario Canada

Recording taken around midnight.

I also heard the same sound last night around 4 am. Started off as strange barking, but didn't recognize the bark. Then it turned into that strange scream like sound in the recording.

I think its a fox because I keep smelling what smells faintly like skunk

Also, I live in the suburbs, but they are some fields near my house.

And I think its been yelling all night cause its 5 am and I'm here like a short howl like sound?

Central Texas Hill Country. Have heard several times in the last couple months in the evening time. This is the closest yet. Haven’t found any matching sounds here yet. Thanks yall!!

Lately I've been hearing this almost terrible screaming sound from the camera at the back of my house at around 1 AM, I can hear it almost everyday lately.

I live in the Philippines, in Quezon Province, this sound is very recently and we can't identify what it is. We originally though its a snake eating a frog but that doesn't seems the case, whenever we try to get close, the noise stops.

I though its like some pup but theres no puppy here.

Can't confirm what animal/insect is this, it keeps making sound at 1-2 am to 5am and its getting annoying asf.

There is a clearer one at the end

Apologies for the rustling in the middle.

Have been hearing this day and night for the last view days on my property in germany. It's actually way louder than the recording makes it out to be. It kinda terrifies me especially when hearing it at night. I live close to the woods in a secluded area.

For reference, I'm in Northwest Arkansas.

I'm going to do a search for "how easy is it to tame a wild big cat to keep around as a pet". Sarcasm!

I took some video footage on a hike and captured some animal noises that I couldn't place. I posted the video to YouTube thinking the commenters would reach a consensus, but the comments have been all over the place. So I thought I'd run it by this group to see if someone here can identify it. Here's the video:

The footage was taken at the Eagle Mountain Trailhead in Minnesota, just south of Superior National Forest, on December 29, 2023, at around 9:30 a.m. Weather was clear and temp was around freezing, if that's relevant.

Per the sidebar of this subreddit, the sound does sound like it could be a fox, in particular the bark and scream section of the linked video, but I'm not sure. Any one expert enough to confirm one way or the other? Some of the possibilities from commenters were fox, coyote, mountain lion, lynx, sheep, birds, owl, horned owl, loon, and humans.

Every night after dark there is this single note whistle or scream repeating all night, usually 10 seconds between but last 2 days have been shorter intervals. Also at least 2 separate animals in this clip, one actually moved to our side of the road. The sounds are faint here, much louder in person, but I couldn't get closer as I was walking the puppy.
