You can.. If you're in the UK, I can't be positive.. but I know in the US we have a species called the Barred Owl and it sounds like your typical horror flick owl.
Honestly, are you sure it's an owl and not a dove? They're confused with owls pretty often..

But.. some owls that you might not have considered:
European Little Owl: http://www.owlpages.com/sounds/Athene-noctua-1.mp3
A Barn Owl's typical call sounds more like a ear piercing screech that a Hoot - which is what I think of when I think of a horror movie owl.
Then there's your Eagle Owl:

Tawny Owl (Which sounds like a Loon to me):

Short-Eared Owl:

Great Grey Owl:

Here's what our NA Barred Owl sounds like.. to me it sounds like they're saying "who cooks for you."

Yes you can. Owls are not all nocturnal. We have a pair of barn owls and a few little owls near our house and we hear very different calls from the different species. We often see the little owls during the day and the barn owls normally in early evening.

OK, if it is a 'toowit toowoo' noise , it's a Tawny Owl (in fact it's two tawnies - one goes 'toowit', the other goes 'toowoo').
If it's a screeching 'keveck, keveck', it may still be a tawny but more likely is a Little Owl (sometimes wrongly called a Screech Owl). You hear them making their noise as they fly, so you can often hear them coming and going.

maximum poultry calls (such as owls) are surprisingly stable. the problem is which you would be able to desire to make certain fact in a call for a particular species till now you bypass attempting to identity via the call on my own. except you're incredibly attentive to Boreal Owl calls i do no longer think of you will desire to be very effective on your identity in accordance with call on my own. some Owl calls a incredibly comparable. even even with the undeniable fact that i've got no longer heard it in my view, I understand observed owls sound incredibly equivalent to barred owls.

yes. barn owls screech. short eared owls are largely silent. long eared owls make an extended low pitched 'oo-oo-oo' noise. a male tawny owl also known as a brown owl calls with a hooting 'hooo-hoo-hooo' and the female replies with a hoarser 'kew-wick'.

Yes, each owl has it's own distinctive hoot. You can go online and hear different sounds. I have a site for USA owls that I'll share, I hope it might help. http://www.whatbird.com/

Yes, of course. The screech owl is even named because of its "hoot."

Personally, I can't. But those who observe and listen to owls should be able to.
