Hello daring Freesounders!!

If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, Spring has just arrived.
There are many things that one can associate with Spring, and one of them is birds.

For this double dare I challenge you to record bird sounds and/or to transform them.

RULES:
- You can participate by recording birds, transforming bird sounds or both.
- Bird recordings to be uploaded to Freesound in the normal way (include attribution in the description and sound sources). Geotaggings are optional but encouraged. Also encouraged date information, weather information and type of spot (e.g.. forest, garden city,...). Post a link on the thread to your sound(s).
- If you chose to transform bird recordings, you must give proper attribution. If you create a non-musical transformed sound, please upload to Freesound in the normal way (include attribution in the description and sound sources). Musical pieces should not be uploaded to Freesound. Upload to Soundcloud, CCMixter, Bandcamp, Alonetone, or any other such platform. Make sure to give attribution and to post on this thread with a link to your submission.
- Please tag your uploadrd sounds woth "Dare2025-05".
- There is no lenght limit on bird recordings (other than the technical limits of Freesound, 1Gb maximum size). Transformed sounds / music pieces maximum 3min lenght, please.
- YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED to use bird recordings which are not your own OR from Freesound (e.g. sample packs, 'from the internet', etc)
- If you use one of your recordings for a transformed entry, you must also upload to Freesound the original recording. Give attribution in the same way as you would if using someonelse's sounds.
- ANYTHING NOT SPECIFICALLY FORBIDDEN BY THE RULES IS ALLOWED.
- ANYTHING NOT SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED BY THE RULES IS NOT MANDATORY.

DEADLINE for submissions: 12-Apr-2025.

Sounds like wind through cavernous tunnels…
Nice sound and very different from the original.
Worth mentioning Paulstretch is a free piece of software and a great tool for sound design.

remember to stick to 3min max length for processed versions, please 😇
