Questions

Can I use these howler monkey sounds in a YouTube video or a paid project?

Yes. Every clip here is CC0, public domain or CC BY, and all of those allow use in monetised videos, podcasts, games, apps and client work, with no fee and no need to ask.

Do I need to give credit for these howler monkey sounds?

Only for three of the five clips, the ones marked CC BY 4.0. Put the credit line in your description or end credits, for example "Guianan Red Howler Monkey, Paul Prior, CC BY 4.0", "Black-and-gold Howler Monkey, Ben Costamagna, CC BY 4.0" and "Southern Brown Howler Monkey, Júlio Castellain, CC BY 4.0". The other two need no credit.

Do all howler monkeys sound the same?

No. Each species has its own calls, which is why this page has five of them: Guianan Red Howler Monkey, Black-and-gold Howler Monkey, Southern Brown Howler Monkey, Mantled Howler Monkey and Yucatán Black Howler Monkey. If you are trying to name one you heard, start with the species found near you.
