1. An environmental sound recognition system, comprising:
- a sound input device;
a processing device; and
a display;
wherein;
said processing device executes computer readable code to create a first visual representation of a first sound sensed by the sound input device for output on the display;
wherein;
said first visual representation is evaluated to determine the identity of a wildlife species; and
wherein;
said first visual representation is generated according to a method comprising the steps of;
(a) labeling the perimeter of a circle with a plurality of labels corresponding to a plurality of equally spaced frequency intervals in an octave, such that moving clockwise or counter-clockwise between adjacent ones of said labels represents a first frequency interval;
(b) identifying an occurrence of a first frequency within the first sound;
(c) identifying an occurrence of a second frequency within the first sound;
(d) identifying a first label corresponding to the first frequency;
(e) identifying a second label corresponding to the second frequency;
(f) creating a first line connecting the first label and the second label.
