So how do
The Wood Thrush's easily recognized, flute-like ee-oh-lay is actually only the middle phrase of a three-part song. It learns the phrase from other Wood Thrushes and sings several variants with 2 to 10 loud, clear notes.
If you take a walk in the woods on a summer evening, you may be treated to the ethereal, flute-like song of the hermit thrush, often the only bird still singing at dusk (and the first bird to sing in the morning).
Cedar Waxwings have two common calls: a high-pitched, trilled bzeee and a sighing whistle, about a half-second long, often rising in pitch at the beginning. Cedar Waxwings call often, especially in flight.
Winter Wren.
This bird wins the prize for the longest song. It's one of the fastest as well. Someone once told me it sounds like an electric guitar solo. Winter wrens like to nest and forage in messy tangles of fallen trees' root balls on the forest floor.
To persuade females to come close, the male lyrebird sings the most complex song he can manage. And he does that by copying the sounds of all the other birds he hears around him – including the sounds of chainsaws and camera shutters!

Broad-winged Hawks give a plaintive, high-pitched whistle that lasts 2–4 seconds, with a short first note and a long second note: kee-eee. The male's call is an octave higher in pitch than the female's. They give this call on the nest and in flight throughout the year.
Katydids and crickets are excellent examples of nighttime noise-making insects. These insects, which belong to the same Order (Orthoptera) make noises in similar ways: by rubbing their wings together. These insects usually make their high pitched chirping noise at night to attract mates or to warn off predators.
Porcupines can sound like babies in the dark, video shows | Centre Daily Times.
That loud insect noise at night comes from the cicadas unique type of abdomen, called a tymbal, which acts like a drum—when the cicada vibrates this tymbal (similar to the motion created by pressing on the top of a metal bottle cap), it creates a loud buzzing noise.
Keen hunters can choose from a range of authentic calls from our bird whistles, such as the duck and predator calls we produce, depending on the target animal. Our cuckoo, crow, nightingale and pigeon calls are popular for their true to life sound and all are excellent for creating various sound effects.
Ospreys have high-pitched, whistling voices. Their calls can be given as a slow succession of chirps during flight or as an alarm call—or strung together into a series that rises in intensity and then falls away, similar to the sound of a whistling kettle taken rapidly off a stove.
Though occasionally linked to witches or other demonic entities, the seven whistlers were generally believed to be a group of mysterious birds, flying together at night, whose unearthly calls were considered a portent of impending disaster. Coal miners were particularly susceptible to these supposed messengers of doom.
Male and female Tricolored Blackbirds give a short high-pitched squeak or a more muted, nasal squeak. They are often silent in flight, but sometimes give a short wuk that is lower pitched than a Red-winged Blackbird's flight call.

Hummingbird Feathers Reverberate Like Violin Strings Creating Unique Songs.
Male and female Trumpeter Swans give the characteristic deep, trumpeting “oh-OH” call, with the second syllable emphasized.
