White noise syndrome refers to a phenomenon where bats experience disorientation and stress due to exposure to constant, non-specific background noise. This can interfere with their echolocation abilities, making it difficult for them to navigate, forage, and communicate. As a result, it can lead to decreased foraging efficiency, increased energy expenditure, and potential population declines, particularly in areas with high levels of anthropogenic noise. Overall, the syndrome poses a significant threat to bat survival and ecosystem balance.

What is the fungus that gives bats white nose illness called?
White-nose syndrome
What is the white nose virus for bats?
The white-nose syndrome is a fungal disease affecting bats, caused by the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans. This disease is named for the characteristic white fungal growth on the noses and wings of infected bats. It has led to significant declines in bat populations in North America.
Why are black bats afraid of white bats?
Because white bats can bit black bats

What are scientists doing about white nose syndrome?
Scientists are studying, and trying to find ways to prevent or possibly cure WNS. In Boston, lab tests show that several drugs can fight the germ and that some antiseptics might help decontaminate areas where bats live.

It's a fungal infection but I don't know if the "white stuff" is the fungus itself or dead skin-cells.
Can a bat give the white nose syndrome disease to a human?
A special I just watched on PBS says that it is not spread from bats to humans.
How do bats prevent white nose syndrome?
Bats cannot actively prevent white-nose syndrome, as it is caused by the fungal pathogen Pseudogymnoascus destructans. However, they can mitigate its impact by maintaining healthy populations and habitats that support their immune systems. Conservation efforts focus on minimizing human disturbance in caves and monitoring bat populations to identify and manage outbreaks. Additionally, researchers are exploring potential treatments and vaccines to protect bats against the fungus.
Do bats like noise?

What animal makes a loud clicking noise and a screeching noise at night?
