You can hear someone coughing here. Probably a volunteer recording sounds while sitting beside the microphone. I'm not complaining but that sound caught me off guard. http://acoustics.safeproject.net/07:00/12/3298 http://acoustics.safeproject.net/07:00/12/3298

  Yes.. how surprising... just goes to show jungle animals come in abundant shapes and sizes, some more familiar than others.. and with some hopefully making cough medicines.

  How did you find that? Of all of the microphones to choose to listen, and of all of the time available to listen, you found that? Did you buy a lottery ticket shortly after?

  Ahahah excellent :)

  You can also hear beeps from maybe some watch.

not sure I like this idea. These are rare untouched places which should remain untouched. What about local tribes ? Leave them alone.

  The lowland rainforest in Borneo where we work is already highly disturbed by logging and oil palm. Part of this project is to establish the audio characteristics of intact and degraded forest so we can try to assess and monitor habitat quality. Locals are Malaysian farmers, loggers and the like, not isolated groups like those you do find in Amazonia.

  I found the link from this article: https://thenextweb.com/artificial-intelligence/2019/05/03/a-twitter-bot-that-translates-jungle-sounds-to-existential-questions-might-just-help-save-the-rainforest/ https://thenextweb.com/artificial-intelligence/2019/05/03/a-... (I'm not the author of the website) I think you will find a bit more explanations in this article.
