Abstract
Lay SummaryWe studied the effects of energy sector and ocean surf sounds on male song performance, an important attribute in assessing their quality. We found that both ocean and human-generated sounds are linked to reduced song performance. Our results demonstrate that natural sounds can influence avian vocal behaviour in ways similar to human-made sounds and, despite having song characteristics that may be heard better in loud areas, the quality of the signal may be compromised.
