Fly Sounds

Listen in on the buzz with these recordings of flies. This application is perfect for you if you either have a serious interest in flying insects or simply want to play a practical joke on your pals.

House flies are common insects that are frequently seen as a nuisance due to their propensity to live in close proximity to humans and spread disease. House flies prefer to congregate around food and rubbish as good feeding grounds. However, as any entomologist will tell you, these incredibly small insects are actually pretty remarkable.

Flying at speeds of up to five miles per hour despite their diminutive size is quite a feat when one considers that the typical human walks at about three miles per hour. The buzzing sound that you hear when a fly is flying about your head is actually the sound of the fly's wings beating 20,000 times per minute. Did you know that? The constant buzzing sound that can be heard is produced by the rapid beating of the wings of the fly. Flies have naturally developed wide-angle vision due to the presence of four thousand lenses in each of their huge insect eyes. Although houseflies may not bite or sting, their relatives, such as horse flies and black flies, can leave painful stings that are comparable to those left by wasps and bees.

Listen to the fun sounds that flies make, or utilize the buzzing to make your friends laugh! They will never be able to discover the location of the pesky little fly hidden anywhere in the house!
