Existing Tools for Sound Analysis

soundscape_edited.png

Many programs, both free and paid, already exist to analyze sound data, with more coming out all the time. We have collated an expanding list of programs for users to explore from a single access point. If you know of any we may have missed, please let us know!  

Scroll through the applications or use the filter to search by software type, free or paid, or primary capabilities - Data exploration: general-purpose, bioacoustics software for listening, editing, and producing spectrograms; Soundscape or Sound Clip metrics and parameters (SPL, spectral analysis, etc); Sound Detection (AI, deep learning, event extraction, etc); Sound Classification (unsupervised or supervised clustering); Manual organization, review, and annotation; or Acoustic localization
