The image labeled “original” shows the full spectrogram of the forest and all sounds in it. The sounds selected in the green box and “isolated” show a sound above the hearing of most adult humans (16,000hz). This would certainly have been inaudible in the forest masked by so many other sounds and many people cannot hear it even when isolated. “Noise reduced” shows the noise reduction process. “Pitched down” simply plays it lower and slower. Sound: “pitched down” in the supplemental files at <mitpressjournals.org/toc/leon/51/5>.
