Sound Frequency
The frequency of the swiftlet’s sound has a significant influence in luring the swiftlet to come to the building or swiftlet’s house. By using the right frequency, the intensity and speed of the swiftlet’s arrival can be significantly increased. This is because swiftlets have very good hearing abilities and can distinguish sound frequencies in great detail. Therefore, in using swiftlet sound as a tool to attract swiftlets, it is very important to pay attention to the frequency used so that it is effective in attracting the swiftlet’s attention to come to the building or swiftlet house.

What is Swiftlet Sound Frequency?
In practice, many swiftlet breeders use different frequencies of the swiftlet call to bring in swiftlets. Some breeders claim that certain sound frequencies are more effective at luring swifts than others. However, keep in mind that the effectiveness of the swiftlet sound frequency can vary depending on several factors, such as the location of the swiftlet building, environmental conditions, and the type of swiftlet you want to target. Therefore, it is important for swiftlet breeders to test various frequencies of swiftlet sounds to determine which is most effective for their specific conditions. By using the right sound frequency, swiftlet breeders can increase the effectiveness of their swiftlet calls and maximize the harvest of swiftlet nests.

Swiftlet Sound Frequency
When flying in the dark, swiftlets continuously emit sounds at a rate of 3 to 20 times per second, with higher frequencies being used when landing or avoiding obstacles to lure arrivals and swiftlet colonies.
Tweeter 1-12 kHz
Swiftlet tweeters emit sound waves of 1-12 kHz with a main energy of 2-4 kHz
Tweeter 1-16 kHz
Swiftlet tweeters emit sound waves of 1-16 kHz with a main energy of 2-7 kHz.
