Bug Bytes sound library: stored product insect pest sounds

<p>This archive of .wav format sound recordings provided by the ARS Center for Medical, Agricultural, and Veterinary Entomology supports the detection and control of hidden insect infestations. Most of the sound files were selected from noise-free sections of recorded signal, but some typical background noises mixed with insect sounds are also provided. The insect sounds have higher frequencies and shorter durations that make them relatively easy to separate from background. </p>
