White-crowned sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys) adjust their songs based on environmental factors. White-crowned sparrows have been observed altering their songs in response to loud anthropogenic background noise. This project sought to establish a link between ambient noise level and song variables such as minimum song frequency and frequency bandwidth.
