    And predators don't make loud noises while hunting, since that alerts prey.

    The MGM lion roar is also actually a tiger. A real lion roar sounds yawny and gravelly.

    While the Bald Eagle sounds like a seagull, it is very frickin loud. I was glad they gave Eagly in Peacemaker real eagle sounds, though I think he is still way too quiet.

    It’s always been funny to me that people are totally OK with the idea that punch noises and other cracks and crunches and grunts are made by the Foley team but think sounds like this are totally realistic…

    Besides, red-tailed hawks do not scavenge while bald eagles do.

    That surprises me. There is an Osprey nest 100 feet off my shoreline and those things calls are so peircing. They are great looking, and watching them raise thier young is great every summer, but holy fuck they are loud and their calls suck.
