Sounds and Vocal Behavior
Vocalizations
The vocalizations of White-chinned Swift are described as "sharp chips and more melodious chirping notes; also explosive, staccato clicking notes" (Stiles and Skutch 1989), and as "a dry, buzzy, accelerating rattling; less electric in quality than calls of Chestnut-collared [Swift Streptoprocne rutila]. Also single dry tick notes" (Lane, in Schulenberg et al. 2010).
Additional audio recordings of vocalizations of White-chinned Swift can be heard at Macaulay Library, at xeno-canto, and at Internet Bird Collection.
