Fox Sounds & Call - Scary scream, barking call & howling noises by a wild Red Fox at night.

Fox call, scream & sounds at night. What does a fox sound like?! Listen to the sounds & call of a Red Fox making howls, screams and barks. Red Foxes make a variety of different calls including barking sounds, screaming, howling & squealing noises aas well as ‘gekkering’ sounds. Two of the most commonly-heard calls are the ‘bark’ & ‘scream’, perhaps because these are the loudest and can be heard for some distance. Another common sound is the ‘wow wow wow’ contact call, which sounds more like a bird to me than a fox! As you can see from the comments below, many find these sounds quite scary when they first hear them and don’t know what is making the noise! Here is a summary of the fox sounds in this video: 00:00 - These are the typical loud barking screams which often freak people out when they hear them at night! 0:00:33 - A variation of the barking calls from a closer perspective. 0:01:06 - Bird-like ’wow wow wow’ contact call. 0:01:44 - Howling sounds in the distance. The fox sounds in this video spectrogram were recorded in Cazorla, Spain and also one cut was recorded in Dharug National Park, Australia. The Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) is a widely-distributed canid species found throughout many regions of the northern hemisphere. It was also introduced to Australia by European settlers and is now an abundant pest species which often preys on vulnerable native birds and mammals.
