Songs

Males sing a thin, high-pitched, repetitive weesy, weesy, weesy song that lasts about 3 seconds. On the breeding grounds, the song may be longer, faster and more varied in pitch. Males sing a softer version of the song when near females during courtship and nest building.

Calls

Both male and female Black-and-white Warblers give a sharp chit or pit call, with many variations. Females call to mates when away from the nest, and males may call to mates in order to maintain contact.
