There is a blueberry farm about 45 minutes north of Wellington in the Hutt Valley - they also have emus.

This is a video that captures an emu while he is making his low frequency rumbling noise.

I also passed the sound through a low pass filter that cut off everything above about 650 Hz - that removed an annoying hissing sound.

  • @worldsBESTcellest97 u obviously dont live in australia

  • It sounds creepy to walk by an emu at night not knowing that the noise came from the large bird behind the fence. Crazy stuff. Awesome vid.

  • almost sounds like growl

  • It's called "booming" - it's a male mating thing.

  • u cant here anything

  • i think i have worked on that blueberry farm as a kid. and i remember the emus making that noise and thinking it was the quad coming. they sound similar from a distance :)
