Red-tailed Hawk calls are a hoarse, raspy scream that descends in pitch. The call lasts 2 - 3 seconds. Personally, I think it’s one of the BEST sounds of ANY bird!
This call can be transcribed as “kree-eee-ar” or “tsee-eeee-arr”. Some people describe it as sounding similar to a steam whistle.
Red-tailed Hawk sounds are typically heard while soaring in the sky. They are most vocal and loudest when angry (who's not?), such as when a rival hawk or potential threat has entered their territory!
Interestingly, Red-tailed Hawk sounds are often used on television to replace Bald Eagle vocalizations, which helps make the eagle sound more intimidating. Despite their appearance, Bald Eagle calls are quite soft, chirpy, and weak.
Red-tailed Hawks are found almost EVERYWHERE in North America. They are common in every state (except Hawaii), province, and even most of Mexico!
These large raptors are often seen on long drives in the countryside, soaring in the sky or perched on a fence post. The plumage color of Red-tailed Hawks can be anything from nearly white to virtually black, so coloration is not a reliable indicator. The best way to identify them is by looking for their characteristic red tail or listening for their sounds and calls. :)
Red-tailed Hawks are highly adaptable, and there is no real description of their preferred habitats because they seem to be comfortable everywhere. I have seen Red-tailed Hawks in the deep backcountry in Yellowstone National Park to urban cities to my own suburban backyard in Ohio! Pick a habitat, such as pastures, parks, deserts, roadsides, rainforests, woodlands, fields, or scrublands, and you’ll find them thriving.

Just played the sounds to a few unruly stellar jays who were screaming their little heads off. That silenced them really fast :)
I know what you mean Dmitri. Isn’t it awesome! I moved back home and I’m living in a room that is behind the garage and behind is a field with lots of trees. These birds were keeping me up practically all night so I got my Bluetooth speaker and put out there and used my phone in my room and played back this video. It got completely silent! 👍
I probably just scared my wild birds to death here in Indiana. I heard a strange bird call and thought it was a hawk but it is shorter burst so maybe it is another bird.
Lol yeah I guess hawks are kind of intimidating to Blue jays. But they're so cute the Blue Jays they're just squawky LOL
It shut my chipmunks up too!
I did the same with a mockingbird
I always liked knowing that they typically use a red-tailed hawk call in portrayals of bald eagles since it sounds so much better. Beautiful raptors!
This is a terrible thing to do and gives a massive disservice to the Bald Eagle. Why would perpetuating a lie and misidentifying a raptor call be a good thing ?!
@@LTCLB because the bald eagle doesn't sound like a badass and Americans are nothing if not badass
@@rokviik304 so they took the hawks voice but portray it as the eagles 😢😂that’s not cool
@@LTCLB Movie aren't documentaries. They do the same with Cheetahs who can't roar so their sound is replaced by a cougar roar. In movies like Spirit, they do mix up the sound of the Eagle & Hawks.
@@rokviik304 lmfao
I see red tailed Hawks, almost everyday. 2 days ago, I saw an adult teaching a younger one how to hunt. Very cool.
I have red-tailed hawks nesting on my property in McMinnville, Tennessee. They are in flight daily. The current juvenile is learning to coast and dive this week, but can frequently be heard calling to it’s mom and dad from the treetops near their nest. Such amazing creatures.
Southeast Georgia, see them all the time. Nest every year somewhere in the woods behind the house. Always enjoy seeing them.
Also here in east TN, beautiful birds
Cant say that i enjoy seeing them, they like to kill my chickens! Every yesr we make our coops a little stronger lol
Yeah
I live in Nashville so I believe that there’s some here in Nashville as well beautiful birds
Southeastern Virginia. Sit on my back porch in the afternoon for 15 minutes. We hear them all the time. Sometimes we see a parent hawk give a young hawk flying lessons. I love these birds.
I just went out with my dog in the backyard and heard this exact scream and I thought it was a eagle! 😂 I had to look it up to make sure my dog was safe, just figured out that it was a red-tailed hawk! Thank you! I’m located at Minooka, IL!!!
First time I heard one of these beauties in the wild was over Lake Wheeler in NC. The reverb through the valley was better than any recording I've heard on TV or film; nicely forested long, deep valley with plenty of reverb decay.
I found this video because I just saw a red tailed hawk perched on my back porch railing this morning! This is in east Raleigh, next to a storm water catchment pond that was already a habitat for a gaggle of resident Canada geese, a couple eagles, some great blue herons, mourning doves, and many little songbirds. I welcome this screecher to my humble neighborhood!
I saw one clear as day during a softball game in Prospect Park in Brooklyn, NY. Everyone stopped and stared in awe. It was amazing!
Sitting outside in my yard in the northwest suburbs of Chicago listening to this video and the two live red-tails that have been hanging around the neighborhood for the past 3 weeks. Beautiful to watch them soar. Saw one with a squirrel in its talons last weekend.
Some red tails are antisemitic. I two attacking this group of hasidic jews in SoHo

I’m sitting on the balcony of my ninth floor condo in Richfield Minnesota across from a pond. We get regular visits from a pair of red tail hawks. I was playing the sounds and getting responses from both juvenile and mature hawks. A juvenile hawk flew a few feet from my balcony. Whenever I hear them I have to go out and watch them because I love to watch them hunt and sore on windy days. They are truly beautiful.
We have a Blue Jay here that makes that exact sound to scare the cats away from their cat food. Then comes down to eat and make the normal Blue Jay sound to let the other Jays know they can come get food. Wife has a video of it. Absolutely amazing
I just had a fantastic encounter with a red-tailed hawk earlier this afternoon. I was reading in my backyard in Berkeley, CA, and heard an unfamiliar calling. I immediately looked up from my book and met the gaze of a hawk that was perched on a tree less than ten feet away from me. My jaw literally dropped, as I'd never been so close to one before, and watched it for a few moments before it flew away. Oddly enough, the noise that it was made wasn't like any of the calls in this video. So I am now curious about what it may have been trying to communicate... In addition, I was recently in the U.S. Virgin Islands on the island of St. John and saw several flying right by the sea. Absolutely beautiful.
I played the video by my pool and the kids says there's that hawk. Then turned it off and then the real hawk sounded off in our woods and flew over us. Awesome! The grand kids were in awe.
Yes! Clinton Township, Michigan! I was sitting outside as I am writing this. Two birds were circling opposite each other with a third distant from them. Realized that I had my 8 lb. white Chihuahua in my lap and that these predators can see extremely well ... lol. The cries matched the cries recorded here that play 1st. 😮
get him outta there
This is the sound we've been hearing for about a week now, coming from one of the big trees in our backyard. Now I know it's a red tail family.
Just had one out by my backyard in Beloit, WI. Saw it flying yesterday, today it was perched on a pole. Just making its calls. Just love to see these guys that you just don't get to very often when you live in city.
I live in Southeast Alabama and have seen and heard them here all my 53 years. I can say with confidence in recent years their numbers are back in full force! What was once a rare occurrence when I was a Young boy is now almost a daily routine to see them soaring above. Thanks for your videos.

Several years ago one was caught in our mosquito netting in the back yard. I heard the calls all summer as the hawk stayed in a local clutch of trees. I talked with him daily while he healed. His parents finally came to feed him and stay until he could fly. Since that time 'Blueberry ' has returned regularly..once even bringing his Mate to meet me! The females are a LOT lar
ger than the males. This is in Powder Springs Georgia. West of Atlanta.
I have since changed to bird friendly netting.
Wow, that's so cool! I live near Woodstock, Georgia, I've heard hawks soaring in the sky with that classic voice sometimes. But I've never come across one at a close distance or spotted one in my backyard though!
yes , i have heard and seen red-tailed hawks , eastern-central texas and now north central arkansas , also alot of bald eagles in arkansas , alot , magnificent birds , absolutely magnificent
South East Idaho...I have a red-tailed hawk that showed up a little over a year ago. She lives in a tall pine right outside my back door(approximately 20ft from door way openining). My home is surrounded by several different types of trees,& bushes. She never leaves for too long. She's been a much needed source of therapy. I haven't forced anything, but let her come to me on her own terms. She mainly stays approximately 10-15feet high on her perch, & approximately 5-8ft away. She has started swooping down to ground level whenever I'm outside enjoying the serenity of my back yard, & walks the perimeter by my side. Sometimes shell even swoop down to greet me with another smaller bird/pigeon/dove/rabbit. They're never at a struggle, & it's always done when her prey has been noticeably freshly killed by her own claw. She's not much bigger than her prey, but seems to carry the weight with ease. At times it's almost as if she's puffing her chest with pride, perched a top her prey, calmy spreading & gently flapping her wings into & away from her breast. Turning towards me, head cooked from side to side, softly & gently screeching as sh seems to be considerate me, move off her kill, step back, & study me. She has gotten as close to me as 3ft. She doesn't seemed frightened as she preforms her beautiful solo dance, & song. I only ever watch her, & after a few moments she seems to almost be talking to me in an even more gentle almost loving nature. Sometimes we sit for long periods of times enjoying the company of one another. Not always does she bring a fresh kill with her. Other times she simply stands perched on a near by branch no more than approximately 6-8ft high, & within 3-5feet of the top of my head, or eye level. She's smaller than most hawks her breed. Her vocalizationshave such a beautifultone/very complex range. She particularly gets curious when I lay in my hammock, & read out loud to her. Her favorite books tend to be ones philosophical, inspirational/motivational, or composed of deep poetically thoughts of love/justice/honesty/strength. Sometimes she'll stay for longer periods of time,& others for only long enough as if to check in...vocalizing the most tenderly when my children, & myself are the only ones around. Moving with us, as if protecting us by keeping an unmatched level of devotion to us. I've noticed that she playfully taunts our pet Rottweiler/Boxer Samson most often initiating play. So I've given her the name deliah to match. They don't bother one another, yet live in harmony & understanding. She's very protective of our little family. Smaller than most she may be, but as courageous as a mythical pheonix. Whose wings seem to cast a protective shadow over us all in ways that are nothing short of magical. She'ss graceful, regal, proud, & allows onlythee most beautiful song birds such as the robin, miniature sparrows, rocky mountain blue birds, & also humming birds to occupy her space. None of which were birds that I noticed to be in abundance of until she arrived. Tbh none of which are found within city limits. Even if rural like our city, & aren't frequently seen outside the confines of more densly secluded mtnous areas above our 6,500 elev. I don't know how she found us,& don't know how she survives the frigid -25°F to -30°F, 50-60mph wind gust, & heavy white out blizzards we get constantly. Her spirit is strong, her will is free,& whatever wonder brought us together. I don't strive to question it, but rather be grateful & humble for the gift she will forever be to my family. She is a cherished companion, & friend I only hope I'm worthy of claiming. 🙌🫶🦅🙏😌weather watchful eye
Beautiful story!
South East Michigan- I see at least 6 almost daily, and dozens more driving around this area. It's hilly, rural, and there are many lakes. It's really amazing to watch them glide and follow their shadows down into the valley. Every so often they dive and scoop up something. The neighbors with farms have to cover their chickens, and keep an eye on small pets, but it's worth sharing the land with such beautiful birds. The call is unmistakable now that I have been able to verify it here. I think we have Cooper Hawks too. Thanks for the audio!
I live in the western Toledo suburbs and have a few that call my neighborhood home. So awesome to have them as neighbors.
We see and hear adults and juveniles around our property in Warren County NJ. We love these raptors!
I live in Toronto, ON Canada and i hear this amazing bird all the time where I’m at. I love it
I live in Connecticut near a few small airports. We have always had ton of red tailed hawks.
I remember being outside early one morning when one burst through the bushes. It had a mourning dove and ate breakfast about 30 feet away from me. It was thrilling and began my love for them.
They are truly majestic, they've always been one of my favorite animals. One flew over head tonight calling for awhile through out the neighborhood, San Diego, CA. I've seen many in Utah, California and Wyoming. Their mating ritual is absolutely stunning and terrifying! One of the more dangerous and breathtaking mating rituals of animals.
We live in Acworth Georgia. We have Red Tail Halks around our home all the time. Today we had 9 flying all around out home. Our home has lots of trees one Core land. We just love to sit out and watch and learn from them.
How could learn how to fly and care for the Halks
Thanks for posting this video, especially including both the adult and juvenile calls. Next door neighbor got some chickens, which I guess are also known as red tail hawk BAIT. Lots of red tails hanging out around my house now. There is a juvenile red tail that is squawking up a storm out my window, but I wouldn't have known for sure what it was without your video as most videos only have the adult call which is totally different. Appreciate the info/education! Oh yeah, live in Northeast Oklahoma, lots of red tails here.
I really hope your neighbour's got some nice fencing around his coop or them chickens are going to end up as a hawk's supper
We have baby's right now flyin and screaming! They're so adorable 😍
Oh and I'm in calgary alberta
I’m sure everyone recognizes this call as the one every movie and TV show utilizes as the call of any bird of prey. The added reverb/echo makes it sound like it’s soaring high over a desert valley.
Yes. Middletown, CT. I feed my birds and squirrels so when I hear that sound I run outside to shoo them away.
Me too!!!!
@@lisavillano8710 👍🏼
Rescued one in Western Maryland actually. Was surprised at how dull the talons were in comparison to other birds of prey. He chilled in my back window while I took him to a rescue to be checked out and the released back where I found him. It was an awesome experience (though admittedly very dangerous)to handle that beautiful bird.
We sit on the front porch and watch and listen to them all the time.
Since comparing tail coloring and sounds, I've confirmed that the very sociable hawk I've been seeing nearby is a juvenile red-tailed hawk. I thought it must be a red-tail, but wasn't sure. Yesterday, he sat in the large old oak in my front yard having a screaming contest with a mockingbird for the better part of an hour. I kept thinking one of them would get too thirsty to continue. It's been so hot and dry here (Cuero, TX) that I hope this youngster can find enough to eat. There's plenty of gophers but they're not as active with the ground so hard. Plenty of huge grasshoppers, though, and I hope he or she eats those, too.
Yes I have heard this before, thanks Scott.
We live in Ankeny, Iowa. We've had the pleasure of listening to this beautiful bird
Northwest Ohio - juvenile and adult calls led me to your video. Thank you for posting!
I had the honor of coming to know one quite well in Western Canada through numerous times out hiking. Although with the fires and smoke an inability to hike at that time I thought I had lost the connection we had developed. To my surprize the Hawk continued to follow me and fly over my home many times. It was only last week after hiking out to the area I meet up with the Hawk that I noticed he wasn't around or were the Swifts that darted about . I spotted many Hawks in the Eastern skies but for some reason the 5 the put on shows for me were absent on my last two hikes out last week.
I live in the Okanagan, on the east side of the valley. We see Red tailed hawks quite often as well and like you we had one that showed up over our house at around 4:00PM daily. It would also call out a few times, ride the thermals and then it would head further up the east side of the valley. We also haven’t seen it since the fires started last summer.
An internet friend in Tampa, FL posted a pic of a hawk that sits on her fence almost every day. I looked it up and it was a red shouldered hawk and it was compared to a red tailed hawk to show differences. I live in Sequim, WA and usually see red tailed hawks here. Had one perching in a nearby tree just yesterday. Can always identify them when soaring over the fields because of their beautiful red tail. I've only heard them a few times over the years. Right now I hear the owls every night. Thanks for the video!
Definitely hearing red-tailed hawk in my neighborhood. Dardenne Prairie, St. Charles County, MO
We see them soaring over our house in NE GA, in a rural area 55 miles NE of Atlanta. Hear them several times a week.
Yes. We had a pair at our farm for about 15 years and now, six or seven years after they were gone, we have another pair. It makes me so happy!!!
They nest in the tall Ponderosa Pines on our ranch in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana. Amazing and beautiful birds!
We recently have had a juvenile red tailed hawk hanging out in the treetop near our house, I love waking up every morning and hearing the calls ^^ I even see it when I leave the house for work, beautiful bird all around.
Yes. I heard one this morning in the woods in Huntsville, TX 🙌
I live in Los Angeles (Mid City West) and we've had nesting red tailed hawks on our street for the past three years. I love hearing their calls. It's awesome to be surrounded by nature, even in the heart of a big city.
I played this every morning for about 5 to 10 min now I have a nest and a beautiful couple of hawks that frequent my back yard could not thank you enough.
There are at least 2 in my yard in Baxley, Ga. I love to watch and hear them.
I live in Brown County (Nashville, IN) and yes, I hear and see them very often. They are so beautiful.
We live in central Florida and we’re fortunate enough to have a pair of red tail hawks build a nest in our backyard this past spring. There are several of these hawks that stay around our area. Have seen several catching snakes and a few bring them back to our yard to eat them. Beautiful birds. Really enjoy watching them. Definitely know when they are around, they are loud.
I have a red tail handing out on the block for the last two weeks. Lot's of small animals and or someone is leaving a food souce. Truly beautiful, thank you for the 411.
There is a hawk in the trees behind my house in east Anaheim across from Yorba Regional Park!!! That sound is what I hear!! There is also an owl! I’ve seen remains of squirrels and bigger prey. I’m in Southern California!!
We are fortunate to live in the drift less region in southeastern Minnesota on the south fork of the Root River. We hear so many birds everyday but today I heard the cry of what I now know is a juvenile Red Tail. Thank you for your contribution!
Hi...I have a young Red Tailed Hawk living in the trees in my backyard. I live in a rural area Cranberry, Pa 16319. I heard the sound of the young one all day long and had no idea what bird made that sound. Later that day I saw a hawk in the yard. Researching hawks, I came across your video and Bam!!! There was that same sound. Thanks so much for helping me identify him!!!
I'm in Tulsa Oklahoma across from airport and for 2 years on a row we have family of hawks and We get to hear them and watch them teach their babies to fly is the best
I see and hear babies and full grown Red-tailed Hawks almost every day. I live a hour north of Springfield Missouri
Fairplay, Colorado - I noticed fewer birds, then started hearing the hawk - amazing birds
We came here to ID a huge bird outside in our tree! This is the exact sound it made! Northern Illinois
Thank you for this. I have been mixing up red-tailed and red-shouldered hawks for the last several years where both live in and around my property in SC!
Thank you for your video! Just answered my question on the hawk screeching I've been hearing for 2 weeks. It is a juvenile! Very cool! We're backed up to the national park in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia
Yep I see them often especially in a small wetland area near my condo just east of West Chester Pennsylvania. I’ve seen up to three at a time. My favorite hawk!
I came home yesterday around noon and a large Red Tail was hanging out on my deck. I went inside and took some awesome pics of videos of it through the window, he was maybe 3 feet away and he just chilled and let me film him. Was pretty cool to see one so close up.
I just played the sounds and I was right! It's our Red Tailed hawks here in San Diego CA. I really hope they build a nest again near our home. They are amazing to watch. Just beautiful!
Flying around my house again. Hopefully they catch more rattlesnakes. They are fascinating to watch!
I have only heard this sound in movies until today when I stepped outside and heard this call of a bird overhead. I looked up to see one of these beautiful hawks soaring way above. What an awesome way to start the day!
Austin, Tx
Took a trip to Skykomish which is about 2-3 hours from where I currently reside in. Stumbled across this video while sitting out there by the river and while watching it there came one out of the trees. Didn’t seem very happy either lol but none the less , it was awesome to see it and then make this exact same noise ! So Majestic
Good morning! Today in Dobbs Ferry, NY. The adult RTH had just caught either a large mouse or small rat. It then flew out of sight…and screeched twice! Beautiful!!
I see the exact same one everyday. In Louisville KY. I love him. He is amazing. I have witness him catching prey. I have had an up close experience with him. It was awesome
Playing this in hope they come down to my doorstep! I watch them everyday and along the river on thr weekends. Play music for them and they start flying around me closer.
We are in Oakland California in the hills. We have heard this hawk for over a week every day. It looks and sounds just like a juvenile red tailed hawk. Thanks so much for helping us identify it.
I'm in Woodstock Ga and I had a large Red tailed halk in my yard all day yesterday. We had a lot of rain and pools of water in the yard. She was gathering worms and enjoying her meal. She didn't seem to mind me watching her. Beautiful birds ! 😊
I live in Walworth County. Normally, the crows don't let the hawks stay too close, but this year, clearly, we have one near. While I played your calls, it was calling back lol. Good or bad I don't know but a treat for sure.
Shawnee, KS. There is a nest a block from my house. I see and hear them all summer long! So beautiful.
Mystic !!! ❤
We were in Cheviot, Ohio when we spotted them. Seemed to be a pair, and this video helped to identify that they were red tailed hawks vs. a Cooper’s hawk. Thanks!
Yes, they are in our back woods ... Thank You for idenifying their sound
Love hearing hawks call as they fly above and sometimes land in our backyard in Banning in SoCal. They're beautiful creatures. Don't hear them on stormy days, and we've had a lot of rain in SoCal recently..
Thank you for this video! The darn thing flies so high up I couldn't get a very clear look to identify it. This clinches it :). I have a red tailed hawk behind my house in NE Connecticut
I have seen them often in Kentucky! Once while stealing one of the hens! They are very beautiful though. And I hear them calling while they are flying through the neighborhoods and woods nearby. A gigantic one was sitting on a fence as I drove through a rural area here.
I see them all the time where I live in a Northeast Tennessee. I see them roosting in the trees, soaring and diving around the hills. The woods here have all manner of small animals for them to eat, moles, chipmunks, squirrels, groundhogs, possum, raccoons... It's a target rich enviroment. Watched one today cruising around directly over my back patio. I think they may have a nest on my property this year because I constantly hear them, very close to the house and stationary.
Upstate New York, and yes we hear this all the time. Looking up, sometimes waaayyyy up, you see them effortlessly gliding in the sky!
This just helped me ID the hawks living in our neighbor’s huge oak tree. We have several cooper hawks in our trees, but they sound very different than these. Thanks for posting this.
I live in Fayetteville, North Carolina. There is a pair over my neighborhood. They live here year around. Beautiful birds, fierce hunters. They rule the skies here.
Avon, IN. Was playing on the playground with my 4 year old and heard this screech! I got out my Merlin app to record and identify it. Sure enough, it identified as a red tailed hawk. I was in awe.
I live on North Vancouver Island, BC, and I've heard and seen these guys flying around. Pretty cool!
Saw and heard one soaring yesterday while descending the Saddle Trail in Garland Ranch, Carmel Valley, CA
Here in Barkhamsted Ct. we hear the red tail hawk(s) everyday protecting their space. Thanks for the incredible sounds!
Awesome! Wasn’t sure if I had a Red Tail or Cooper’s hawk. Used the sounds for both. I got responses from the Red Tail in our woods. So the sounds helped me clinch it.
I am in Louisburg, NC. Thanks.
I have eagles and falcons around my neighborhood but yesterday this screech is definitely what I heard. Very impressive with nature’s predators.
Guess I have one in my yard this year! Lots of territorial fighting going on! Amazing bird! He perches near my house and I see the other birds attacking him but he is still and watches. Amazing, not sure it's a good thing but it's definitely amazing
They go over the hose every day and in my back yard . Beautiful ❤ Here in Mount Pleasant,Wi
I live along the Allegany river in western New York and I hear red tail hawks all the time. Beautiful music to my ears.
I live on the Connecticut River in Massachusetts and often see birds of prey in the sky and occasionally on the ground. Yesterday I first heard 2 hawks making a racket outside and saw their shadows swoop past my window. I went out to investigate and the 2 Red Tail Hawks landed in a large Maple Tree right off my deck. One of them was lunching on a Blue Jay and the other hung out higher up in the tree. The smaller of the two screeched and screeched, I assume calling to the other. I was fortunate enough to watch them for a good half hour. There is little that gives me more satisfaction then watching wild creatures in their natural habitat.
Yes, we have them in the horse pastures of our barn in Gig Harbor, WA. They are so beautiful!🧡
I live just west of Des Moines. We see them all the time. Had one perched on my fence a couple weeks ago, just outside the window, so I got a really good look at it from about 8 feet away.
Yes yes
AND THEY LAND RIGHT IN MY TREE OUTSIDE MY WINDOW.I LIVE IN HICKORY NC TY SO MUCH
We live in the woods that is home to at least one and see it almost daily here in NW Connecticut. It brushed its wing on my front door as I was grabbing the handle to head out. I could feel it connect from the other side and I got an amazing view opening the door. It happened to be the week of my due date while I was pregnant and I will never forget that experience.
Thanks for including the juvenile call. That's the one I was having trouble identifying.
WOW! I’ve been hearing a LOT of these lately. Northern Adirondacks! I must have a whole bunch of them here and I love it!
Got a couple not so good pics but he comes to our yard and watches the field before swooping down for dinner. Beautiful big hawk. Randolph County, West Virginia
Im in east lansing, Michigan, and the hawks are out and about! Just heard this exact call from above :)
Just had a group of 3-4 of them hunting the trees in my neighborhood in the Houston area. We also have a few bald eagles that I typically see in the fall.
We have a family at our place. Thanks for the juvenile sound, spot on!
