# Orcasound Noise Dataset
## Overview
This dataset was created using the "Haro Humpback" catalog from the Orcasound project (https://www.orcasound.net/).

## Dataset Contents
- Filename: The name of the audio file.
- Audio: Underwater noise recordings in WAV format, sampled at a rate of 44,100 Hz, each with a duration of 5 seconds.
- SoundType: This field is always set to "noise," indicating that the audio contains non-whale sounds, such as background noise.

## Related Dataset
The relevant dataset containing humpback whale vocalizations is available on HuggingFace: https://huggingface.co/datasets/Liana/humpbacks-orcasound-em-hW-data. These recordings are also 5 seconds long and include detailed annotations.

## Usage
This dataset is intended for training and evaluating models that need to recognize and differentiate noise from other sound types in marine environments.
