Beehive piping audio dataset

This dataset of bee piping audio signals which was built by collecting about 48 different recordings that were published by various beekeepers on the YouTube platform. Each recording has a duration varying from 2 to 13 seconds and is annotated according to the beekeeper comment respectively as tooting or quacking signals. We extracted the audio from the video using the ``YouTube soundtrack extraction'' tool which enables to store each recording into the WAVE file with a sampling frequency of \(F_s = 44,1kHz\) or \(F_s = 48kHz\). After removing the silent frames, the resulting dataset contains 36 tooting signals and 8 quacking signals which correspond to a duration of 145 seconds for tooting and 60 seconds for quacking (total 205 seconds). The DATASET_DESCRIPTION.pdf file contains a precise description of each recording with the links to original YouTube sources.
