# Pet Decoder Audio Test Fixtures (v1.0) 🧪

This repository contains **audio test fixtures** used for validating the ingestion pipeline of the **[Pet Decoder AI](https://petdecoder.ai)** application.

These are verified, public domain samples used to test our audio visualization and classification algorithms against known baselines (e.g., Low Frequency vs. High Frequency vocalizations).

## Dataset Contents
The dataset consists of 5 reference audio files representing distinct spectral patterns:

* **`dog_bark_large.mp3`**: Low frequency, high amplitude bark (Large Breed).
* **`dog_bark_small.mp3`**: High pitch, rapid modulation bark (Small Breed).
* **`dog_whimper.mp3`**: Distress vocalization pattern.
* **`dog_growl_play.mp3`**: Low rumble/growl (Play aggression).
* **`dog_panting.mp3`**: Breath-heavy audio (Noise baseline).

## Usage
These fixtures are intended for:
1.  **Unit Testing:** Validating audio uploaders and spectrogram generators.
2.  **Baseline Calibration:** Testing frequency detection thresholds (e.g., distinguishing a growl from a bark).
