Behaviour: 

The call of this species is exceptionally loud and can be heard from a distance of several hundred meters. Males call both during the day and at night, producing long, uninterrupted trains of syllables (mean syllable duration 0.0695 s, SD=0.0028; n=22) at the rate ranging from 11 to 12 syllables/sec (at 17°C), with the frequency peak at about 9.3. kHz (Figs. 48D–F).
