The Animal Sound Library
The Museum für Naturkunde is home to one of the largest collections of animal sound recordings in the world. They're studied by scientists to learn about what animals live in an area, and what time(s) of year they're active, and in what abundance.
One of the field recorders featured was initially created for use by agents in the CIA! (Scientists used it for spying, too; on birds.)
