About this sound

On the morning of December 25, 2013, residents along Officer's Row woke up to a remarkable gift: wolves howling just outside their door.

Why parks record sound

The NPS Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division monitors soundscapes in parks across the United States. Natural quiet is treated as a resource to protect, like clean air or dark skies: noise from aircraft, vehicles and machinery can mask animal communication and change the experience of a place.
