Those who have watched these birds in the region would be familiar with Black-and-yellow Broadbill (Eurylaimus ochromalus) calls.
The classical calls are a loud advertising call by both sexes and that may be given in response to another bird. The call usually lasts 10-11 seconds. It starts with a gradual pace for 3-4 seconds, then picks up to a shrill trill with 10-12 notes per second and usually ends abruptly. This can be better appreciated from the waveform than the sonogram as shown above.

There are a number of other calls that the birds make. The above shows a sonogram and waveform of a mewing-like call.
