    I wouldn't want a crow sound stuck in my head.

    That annoying mishmash of screeching that starts every morning, seemingly at 4:00am.
     (I'm not a morning-birds-song type of guy)

    Ancient peoples have not discussed any such thing with me.

    Lot of interesting sounds from the various frog species.  Where I live all you hear from frogs is a croaking sound. 
    Couldn't get sound from the whip-poor-will video unfortunately.

    I'm amazed by people who can identify them by their sounds! I know quite a few bird songs, but the only frog I know for sure when I hear it is the bull frog. 

    I'll bet there's a whip-poor-will on youtube, if you want to check it out. Mesmerizing. 

    Great question, btw! :)
