Tell me how!

I cant seem to make any kinda noise that resemblse anything more than a wet fart. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angry-smiley-055.gif
 
Try a loud sucking kiss to the back of your hand. Try it w/ different lip to hand pressure. Once you get the sound you're looking for do it w/out your hand.

Keep practicing, you'll have everyone looking at you funny before long because you'll be doing it when you're not really thinking about WHERE you are. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
A lip squeak in my opinion is a killer sound for any predator hunter to know, but not easy to learn.
Turn your lips inside over your teeth, then suck in air on one side of your mouth. Practice, practice and practice some more, you'll know when you get the sound right.
If you don't know what a lip squeak should sound like, there are some cassettes out there that have the sound you want to learn....Good luck

There's a whole bunch on our video /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Seriously though, I use a straight lip squeak vs. the back of hand option. Whether I'm running the video camera or holding the rifle, it leaves me hands free.

I use it to help the predator home in my position when they stop and to coax like most other folks.

you other lipsqueakers tell me what you think, I'd like to improve. but, I've called alot of dogs in with these sounds. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif

The best I have ever heard do this is Les Johnson, by far. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowingsmilie.gif
 
thePiedPiper, a hand squeak is also a killer sound, no way around it.
The only reason I don't use it much during the day is movement, a personal thing I guess. The lip squeak requires no movement, that's why I prefer it.
Back in my younger years I was known to smoke cigarettes and drink coffee on a stand at night, lots of movement but killed coyotes. Just proves all this high tech stuff don't work lol.
These newer guys need to learn how to lip and hand squeak, both are important tools of the trade....Good hunting
 
Some will insist that if the back of the hand is involved then technically it is a "hand-squeak". I do both lip and hand squeaking, with the hand-squeak being a lot louder and carrying a lot further, but not being as convenient as it doesn't leave both hands free.

Not too shabby PiedPiper. Having only listened to the first one as your download took awhile, I'd say you're definitely on the right track, actually the higher pitched portions are pretty good.

In my observation coyotes will stop and look, but rarely abandon all caution and make a beeline for ya, until the squeaking gets really high-pitched, say over about 18KHz.(I typically start out a little lower and progressively increase the pitch.)

Once a feller can consistently hit 20 KHz and sound like a gopher getting constricted by a snake, after the first few times of calling a bobcat or fox or coyote to 20 feet or less with nothing but the 'squeak, he'll wonder what all the fuss is about concerning ecallers. (Some might never even look back).

dang, I thought the second one was better, you ought to try to hear it, as I value your opinion highly! I hope the direction of this thread is still as intended.
 
My son and I also use the lip squeek as a communication tool.

We usually face different directions and when one of us squeeks, we know we have one coming in. The other can then take over the calling or continue to squeek him in.
After awhile it becomes second nature to make the sound.

Whatever you do, keep trying until you get it, it will come eventually. It is the absolute best trick to have in your bag of tricks. It will actually refocus them once they've decided to leave. I've had them hung up listening to a FoxPro sound, and I hit the mute button and lipsqueaked and they would turn and make a bee-line for me. It's magic.

I form a big circle with my thumb and index finger, and then wrap the other fingers into a cup like megaphone in order to add volume and then simply kiss with my lips pushed against the hole in the circle. Whatever it takes, do it.
 
Ditto that lip squeeks are killers and you always have the call with you. I've called black bears, grey fox and coyotes with nothing else, and gotten cats, caribou and deer to step into better position with a lip squeek.

Lionho, that's the best technical info on lip squeeks that I've ever heard of. Thanks! Will concentrate more on the high sounds.

I make my best sounds and the highest pitch consistently by sucking on the inside of my lower lip when it is extended against my upper teeth.

I just got done hunting with Tony Tebbe on a 3 day hunt and i always do alot of lip squeeking to bring game in . But he introduced me to a call that he has built lately called the kissme call that produces a lip squeeking noise but amplifies it to great effect . I would suggest that you order one from Tony and give it a try. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-006.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-006.gif
 
youve got to be kidding me!!! I was just in my garage trying to produce the very same call. Wanted to be the first! Dang you Tony Tebbe! I'll take one....
 
Gosh, having to carry a call you could lose or would most likely be rattling around in the bottom of your pack just when you needed it most, kinda defeats one of the better aspects of lip-squeaking, to my way of doing things...

Too, I find the near-ultrasonic frequencies that can reached with a lipsqueak challenging to replicate by other means, to say the least.

(Interested in hearing what material Tony Tebbe used--lead crystal glass, maybe?)
