Repeated call

Wings at takeoff
A sharp whistling flutter of wings as the dove springs into the air, a signature of the species.
Two doves answering
One coo and a slightly lower coo back, soft and apart, for a pair calling across a garden.

A gentle trill of the throat, close and intimate, for a bird settled on a ledge.

FAQs
What does a mourning dove sound like?
It gives a soft, mournful coo that rises at the start and settles into a run of low hoots. Its wings also whistle at takeoff, which is easy to mistake for a separate bird.
Where can I get mourning dove sounds for a video?
Describe the dove and the exact call and generate it on Morphic. Each of the six clips here comes from a prompt printed beside it, so you can start from one.
How do I make a custom mourning dove sound?
Name the species and size, then the call, such as one rising coo and three hoots. A prompt that says small mourning dove, soft and mournful, works well.
How is a mourning dove different from an owl or a pigeon?
A mourning dove is softer and higher than an owl, with a mournful rise, while pigeons are throatier and noisier. Naming what it is not in the prompt helps the model keep it small and gentle.
Can I use these mourning dove sounds commercially?
Yes, audio generated on paid plans can be used commercially. See our terms for full licensing details. The calls are generated for you, so they are not the same clips used in other nature videos.
Why does my dove sound like an owl?
The coo is likely too low. Say small dove, ask for a soft rising start and gentle hoots, and add not an owl so the model does not reach for a deeper call.
