A checklist of European Orthoptera is presented with indication of their sound production and the current availability of sound recordings on Xeno-canto. 926 out of 1232 Orthoptera species, or 75%, that have been reliably recorded in Europe produce sound. However, for just 802 (65%) of those species the sounds produced are meaningful for inventories and field identification. Sound recordings for 556 out of these 802 species (69%) are available now on Xeno-canto. The recordings are not spread evenly across Europe. Recordings are available for 190 of the 256 (74%) species occurring in the Iberian Peninsula; for 194 of the 230 species of Italy & Malta (84%); for 302 of the 374 of the species occurring in Balkan peninsula & Cyprus (81%); for 192 of the 218 of the species occurring in the North and Central Europe (88%) and for 168 of the 252 of the species occurring in the Eastern Europe (67%). The relatively high coverage of North and Central Europe is due to a combination of a relatively low number of species and a high density of sound recordists.
