Sonotrack

SONOTRACK is an advanced non-invasive measurement system to monitor ultrasonic sounds produced by animals. By using a dedicated microphone and hardware the system is able to pick up ultrasonic vocalizations (USV) of animals generated at frequencies between 15 kHz and 100 kHz.
The system not only records and converts the ultrasounds in a for humans audible signal but also provides several graphical presentations of the recorded sounds and an user adjustable Ultrasound Call counter. This counter determines the number of calls in user definable frequency bands, the start time and duration of each call as well as the mean frequency of each call. Examples of application area: Ethology, CNS and Pharmacology, Bio Acoustics, Pain, Animal welfare studies.
