Natural SoundsNatural or animal sounds which may have contributed to or participated in the development of human music include: Warning sounds These are sounds made by animals to warn others, of their species, of impending danger. Similar "warning" sounds are made by those of any unique species ir predator is approaching that species' territory, warnign others to seek safety. Territory sounds These are sounds, calls, or audible signals made by any one spceies to it's own or any other species, establshing boundaries so like or unlike species will not transgress those boundaries. Male baboons make sounds heard for miles by other baboons, communicating to those other male baboons, the territory of that male baboon. The strength, volume, and timbre, inherent in that "call", dtermeine whether or not rival males attempt to invade that male baboon's territory. Courtship and/or mate attracting sounds These are sounds made by the male baboon to attract females to his territory for courtship and mating. Again, the strength, quality, and timbre of those sounds, often determine the abilty of that species to attract females for reproduction. These mating calls, often low and gutteral, are the main criteria, used by the female baboon to determine which male she mates with.
