Abstract: The disclosure relates to a system for generating a status output based on sound emitted by an animal. The system comprising: a client (102), a server (104) and a database (106); the database (106) is accessible (107) by the server (104) and comprises historic sound data pertaining to the animal (302) or animals of the same type as the animal; the client (102) comprising circuitry (110) configured to: detect (202) sound emitted (308, 312) by the animal (302); record (204) the detected sound (308, 312); analyze (206) the recorded sound for detecting whether the sound (308, 312) comprises a specific sound characteristic out of a plurality of possible sound characteristics, wherein the sound characteristic includes at least one of intensity, frequency and duration of the detected sound; transmit (208), in response to detecting that the sound (308, 312) comprises the specific sound characteristic, the recorded sound to a server (104); the server (104) comprises circuitry (122) configured to: receive (210) the recorded sound; classify (212) the recorded sound by comparing one or more sound characteristics of the recorded sound with the historic sound data comprised in the database (106); generate (214) the status output based on the classification of the recorded sound. A method (200) for generating a status output based on sound emitted by an animal is also provided.
