I hear this outside now. I know there is a pair of great horned owls, but these are new. I'm glad I can recognize an owls call when i hear it, because they can make some seriously terrifying sounds lol
I just laughed to tears! I was awakened to this sound several times outside my bedroom window. It is disorienting and terrifying! I swear they were using megaphones! 🤣🤣
Imagine lying in bed close to 1am ... very quiet and all of a sudden a "laughing owl" calls right outside your bedroom window in the tree about 10 feet away!!!! Talking about scaring the "sh*t" out of you!!! I almost had a heart attack!!!
Had the same experience many times just outside my bedroom window, it sounded like a horror movie soundtrack. Happened quite frequently. Always gave me the chills at 2 or 3 in the morning when you get awakened by it's crazy maniacal sounds.
For the first time in about 30 years of being around the house I grew up in, I finally started to see these wonderful owls! I had heard them my entire life, but now I see them almost everyday. It makes me so incredibly happy and comforted when I hear them. It's the strangest feeling of family and home, as if they're dear friends.
Oh - I just love this! I haven't heard Barred Owls in a very long time and hearing this brings tears to my eyes. The vocals that the Barred Owls speak are actually quite complicated and not just a simple hooting. This recording makes me smile...
These noises just freaked me out at 3am in my backyard. I thought for sure it was chupacabre. I'm like "what else could it be". My hearts still racing.
there's 10 acres of woods behind my home, and lately I've been hearing a group of them. sometimes just one, sometimes a couple. Over the weekend I must have heard the whole family, it was awesome!
The Barred Owl, a beautiful, majestic bird whose volume is perpetually set to 11. seriously, they are one of the loudest creatures in my neck of the woods (Alabama).
Hilarious-- I usually start hearing them here in Northern WI. Round the end of april.. bluetooth speaker on porch rail..they are here within a few min!!😁
That first call was the very first owl laugh I've ever heard and that was a few weeks back. We had two owls that came and perched on a brach out back waiting to catch rats. I was amazed and I thought it was a dog barking but it was so loud that I heard it through a closed window.
We've been seeing these and hearing this sound every night for about 2 months straight. We have a big wide open back yard, so during the day we have hawks BUT at night the Barred Owls love to perch on our fence or on one of the huge oak tree branches that are super close to the ground...for easy swooping 😊. It's entertaining and just amazing to watch and listen to them.
Kimberly Thompson you have a healthy rodent population in your yard or near. I live in tennessee and like you have noticed increased hawks and owls this year. But mine is due to an explosion of brown rats and mice around the barnyard this year. Take heed if you have cats or small dogs. Lost a chihuahua last year to a barred owl.
Amazing! These owls surround my home with these very familiar sounds. Thank you for recording them! Now my friends and relatives can also hear what I do. :)
Here in Bristol RI, there is one I ear but haven't seen. I have tiny little dogs that I would think would make a meal for a barred Owl. The hoot is exactly like I hear on this video and other audio .
Great audio. Been capturing and posting some close-up video of a Barred Owl diving into my front yard goldfish pond in the last fews weeks. Love these birds. Hoping to get some good audio like you have one of these nights.
I woke up randomly at 3:00AM and was trying so hard to go back to sleep, suddenly I hear what sounds like a woman laughing super loud and almost pissed and shit myself simultaneously. Thank you owl in my backyard.
I heard this at 2am and it freaked me out. Because I was listening to the two owls and then BaM sounds like a little kids laughing. I told my family and they didn’t believe me but now they will.
Caterwauling, love hearing my hoots cut up nightly. Last year they chose a pecan tree in my backyard for nesting. Fun fact: barred owls are monogamous, a pair will mate for life.
I've been a beard owl caller for a couple of years now and they come in still today I can call em in still today and they fly Ion all the way across from the road to my house
I heard this one morning getting ready to leave for work. Had no idea what it was so i posted the video on nextdoor. Someone told me exactly. I never heard them before then.
I had the pleasure of recording that exact sound at around 9 PM or something a year ago in the spring. I posted it to TikTok, it was one of my oldest videos on my channel and I think it’s still getting quite a lot of views. One person made a comparison to the rubber duck being flushed down the toilet in Monsters Inc. of all things.
To clarify my visit. Last night I heard a noise and looked up to see that 2 Owls were looking in at me on my screened patio! They were sitting on my pool deck, which is about 5 feet from my patio. I called my daughter and her friend to witness it. One of the owls seemed to be talking, if you will, and bobbing its head at me. I made the same motion, and it repeated it with me several times. Needless to say we were all amazed with them and their curiosity with us...or me!!
OMG, I think I am hearing the laughing right now! A nocturnal bird discovered my birdbath. I thought maybe it would be an eastern screech owl, because they do frequent my yard. But this one does not sound like an eastern screech owl, and I believe I may have identified him.
Its 6am. I literally was just awakened by this here at my home in Georgia. My heart almost stopped. Scared the sh*t outta me because my window is open and these suckers were right outside. That's why I'm here right now...lol. Had to Google "owl making scary laughing noises" ..... anyway I'm glad I did, swear I had a psycho monster on my property 😂
there are two by our house, no matter what time it is i always smile when they start their calls. one nite they had a laughing session going on for at least an hour, it was a hoot 😉
Love these owls I hear them every time I go camping I guess I will never be taking my dog camping since he seems to grower and go crazy when he heard this lol
The comments on this video are either “i love this sound, it reminds me of family and home. i want to be an owl” or “it’s 3 am and i heard this i’m so scared i thought it was a monster. help me”
Yup this is real. I have a pack of them liveing in trees near my house and they laugh ALOT. and talktive to each other they seem to never run out of things to say
@WingsOfChaos7 I heard them where i live too...In the nearby woods...I just found out what that call is...I think there is a pair...I live in a sub in northern Florida...I think it is VERY special to have them here...AWESOME!!!
I heard just one laugh, no build up or anything, while standing under the eclipse tonight. I thought it was ghosts, monsters, or that I was hallucinating, bc it was just such a seemingly unnatural sound lmao. Thanks for easing my mind!
Wow, thanks for this great audio! I've been hearing these, too, and I don't live too far from Suwannee so it's more of a confirmation when the recording is something local. I knew that at least one was a Barred, but wasn't sure about the other. Can you tell me, though, if you know if these 2 owls were mating, protesting, or if one was juvenile? I've been curious to know the nature of the commotion. Thanks!
I hate to admit this but I get out on the porch and try to hoot at them. They really laugh at that, We are in the East Texas Piney Woods. Thank you for sharing!
I live in Texas and the owls I hear literally say who and now I'm camping up in missouri and freaked out when I heard these. But then I found this, still doesn't make it any less freaky lol
Nate Halstead oh OK makes sense now. I was using a owl call to get some turkeys to gobble one morning before daylight and an owl was answering me back like this. I had no idea til now, thank you
I have two words to describe these owls:
Winged Hyenas.
I hear this outside now. I know there is a pair of great horned owls, but these are new. I'm glad I can recognize an owls call when i hear it, because they can make some seriously terrifying sounds lol
U still alive?
Oh my god, I heard this at 5am while camping and I thought the chupacabra was coming to destroy me >__
Lol 😂😂😂...
...or the Mothman....
That's funny because that's what my boyfriend thought when he and I were trippin last year 😂😂😂 funniest night ever

That happened to me last night! That's why I'm here. It sounded so similar to a kid, laughing I thought my house was haunted

Camille Breaux just happened to me last night
Hi !! That’s what JUST happened to me. In Tampa Florida googling if monkeys or chimps are somehow here.
Lol
aha, happened to me just about now.
This is the EXACT noise I have been hearing outside my bedroom window tonight lol.
Yes
@@owleybird2325 the same. Florida
SAME ITS 2AM AND ITS CREEPY
Same. 1am Tacoma WA.
Lucky you !

broadcasting this audio from my back porch now..setting them off all around. awesome!
Doing the same thing rite now
@@sBaby-yw3zy I think this is what some of the bigfoot people hear 🤣
That is where the phrase hootin and hollerin comes from. ;) A hoot-enanny celebration of Spring. Awesome, thanks for posting.
Barred owls are my favorite, no question. Those eyes! And they’re so fluffy. Just beautiful.
Owls are so unique. If theres an after life and it would be our turn to be animals I would be a barred owl.
Oh - I just love this! I haven't heard Barred Owls in a very long time and hearing this brings tears to my eyes. The vocals that the Barred Owls speak are actually quite complicated and not just a simple hooting. This recording makes me smile...

And this is why the barred owl is my favorite
seriously people? laughing is the name of the call..yes its a territorial call..but its called laughing
I now know why people believed in "demons" for so long :P
there's 10 acres of woods behind my home, and lately I've been hearing a group of them. sometimes just one, sometimes a couple. Over the weekend I must have heard the whole family, it was awesome!
I love the sound of owls at night. They make me want to join them.
Been hearing this for the past few years. Finally, I now know what it is. Thanks you.
Interesting that they actually sound like primates...somewhat...
Any bird is my favorite animal, but raptors are particularly bad ass! 🦉
That is so fun to listen to. It makes me laugh every time. Thanks!
Man you folks are lucky, I've no owls in this paved over hell .

I was awakened by this very sound! These have to be my favorite.
I hear these in the woods all the time when I'm trying to sleep!
Love the sound of owls 🦉
LOVE THIS !! YEP ! ITS BARRED OWLS IM HEARING OUTSIDE MY WINDOW EVERY NIGHT ! IM IN LOVE
Great audio. Been capturing and posting some close-up video of a Barred Owl diving into my front yard goldfish pond in the last fews weeks. Love these birds. Hoping to get some good audio like you have one of these nights.
I just loved barred owl calks they are having fun I can do it 😘💙💖
They're havin' a "HOOT"
This is both hilarious & terrifying. If I heard this at night in the dark I'm certain I would piss myself
I woke up randomly at 3:00AM and was trying so hard to go back to sleep, suddenly I hear what sounds like a woman laughing super loud and almost pissed and shit myself simultaneously. Thank you owl in my backyard.
i took my dog for a walk late at night, and i heard this and no joke almost shit my pants. i thought pogo was right around the corner
I heard this at 2am and it freaked me out. Because I was listening to the two owls and then BaM sounds like a little kids laughing. I told my family and they didn’t believe me but now they will.
That owl🦉 sure is a HOOT! 😁

I love owls. They're so amazing to look at. And yes there sounds are freaking scary sometimes
I heard our local barred owls cackling for the first time last night!
I've been a beard owl caller for a couple of years now and they come in still today I can call em in still today and they fly Ion all the way across from the road to my house
Thank you for posting I love listening to these owls even at home and Vermont
The joke you told him an hour ago? He finally got it. You can't hear it, but inside he's owling with laughter.
We clearly are all having the same experience and that's why we're here
I just heard one of these. Nova Scotia. He had some range. Very cool
Love this, first time hearing nature at its' best.
So awesome! Great capture! Great video! I hear the same at my house! 💖
How cute!
I heard this one morning getting ready to leave for work. Had no idea what it was so i posted the video on nextdoor. Someone told me exactly. I never heard them before then.
I love this ❤
This sounds like a Tarzan movie! Such weird noises. I hear these guys outside my window at night.

Amazing calls. So interesting to hear in the night!
Barred owls are what mainly hear around my place & i love it
I woke up at like 3 am last night and heard this going on outside. One calling and the other doing the “laugh”

When I was a kid, these exact noises fucked me up at night
Had 2 of these every night cawing from the neighbors tree. Even have a video of me waking up to one and getting less than 10’ away.
I heard these sounds while camping in the Catskills region of NY. Quite creepy, but enjoyable at 2 am!
This is a mating call, the high pitched "laughing."
Barred owl: Ahohohohohooo!
there are two by our house, no matter what time it is i always smile when they start their calls. one nite they had a laughing session going on for at least an hour, it was a hoot 😉
Likely a male and female. If you still hear em keep an eye out breeding season is here
Love these owls I hear them every time I go camping I guess I will never be taking my dog camping since he seems to grower and go crazy when he heard this lol
When they're really pissed off they go YYYYOWW!
I woke up in the middle of the night to this once. scared the hell out of me! There were three of them a little more wild than in this video
The comments on this video are either “i love this sound, it reminds me of family and home. i want to be an owl” or “it’s 3 am and i heard this i’m so scared i thought it was a monster. help me”
just heard this out my window
Love it ❤❤❤
No one:
Literally no one:
Every villain when they thought their plan succeeded
Yup this is real. I have a pack of them liveing in trees near my house and they laugh ALOT. and talktive to each other they seem to never run out of things to say
There's a pair of these in our backyard.
We had a camp out last night & listened
to them for a long time...
sounds like the duck caller my dad had
Heard this camping....thought it was bigfoot.
E Trout I think that's a pretty cool sound
Everytime I hear one. I get scared
Herd these sounds this morning.. AMAZING
Dod8 know they laugh 😃 love thers callx
Stream life goes on
@WingsOfChaos7 I heard them where i live too...In the nearby woods...I just found out what that call is...I think there is a pair...I live in a sub in northern Florida...I think it is VERY special to have them here...AWESOME!!!
Hear this often at night. Love my owl friends.
I heard just one laugh, no build up or anything, while standing under the eclipse tonight. I thought it was ghosts, monsters, or that I was hallucinating, bc it was just such a seemingly unnatural sound lmao. Thanks for easing my mind!
those are call and responses, that exchange is probably a mating ritual. but the owls also do the weird twerp-like squelches to try to bait prey
There’s a saying when an owl laughs someone is dying ,because owls can smell a dying human
-hoo-hoo-hoo-hooaww
-ho-ho-ha-ha-ha-hac
Fuck, you don't need a circus, just listen to these owls.
Heard that this past weekend right over my tent...both the "who cooks for you" and the laughing. :) A bit unnerving at 2 am.
this is the sound I hear out my bedroom window tonight ughhhh
Imagine if Barnaby and Stolas Laughs at this sound
Characters From Billie Bust Up And Helluva Boss!

I’ve heard these before here in Kansas
owl lives in my back yard either snowy great horned or barred owl! i love owlz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
favorite animal
Where do you live?
That is actually a mating call.
I live in Texas and the owls I hear literally say who and now I'm camping up in missouri and freaked out when I heard these. But then I found this, still doesn't make it any less freaky lol
Not laughing. This is a territorial call. Two barred owls in close proximity of each other will hoot like this to establish dominance and territory.
Nate Halstead oh OK makes sense now. I was using a owl call to get some turkeys to gobble one morning before daylight and an owl was answering me back like this. I had no idea til now, thank you
It sounds like laughing tho
This roar was used in the Serbian horror film The she burttefly.
good
Me and the boys telling jokes:
Owl#1: who
Owl#2: who
Fancy owl: whom
wow that is hilarious!!
