A nice idea for an open source sound map: Sounds of the Forest collects the sounds of the forests on an international map and you can click into all the forests acoustically. Just as if you were there.

I’m very pleased that this topic has been so well received. I hadn’t expected that.
Have fun in the forest

Yes… this is pretty cool. I take my dog on walks in various conservation areas. Wish they sounded more like this. Some of them are so quiet it’s a bit eerie when you’re deep in the Forrest trail all by yourselves.

You have to be very attentive to hear everything that is going on in the forest. Buzzards and kites nest in one direction and I’ve seen deer in the other. In spring you can also hear lots of other bird calls. At the stream, a fire salamander sat down next to me on a stone when I had cooled my feet 
Unfortunately, it has become considerably quieter in recent years as far as bird calls are concerned
Yes i hear crows because they are quite loud. But generally it’s very quiet at least the times i have been deep in the forest.
Edit: I think my dog is more attentive then me.
