To the extent that this transcription is a derivative work of the Tarzan films:

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Tarzan yell
Description

Approximation of Weissmuller's famous Tarzan yell in common-practice musical notation

Source

Transcribed by Damian Yerrick using GNU LilyPond, based on Image:John Weissmuller's MGM Tarzan Yell.ogg, which in turn was excerpted from a Tarzan movie starring Weissmuller

Article

Tarzan yell

Portion used

roughly 5 seconds

Low resolution?

Despite the large pixel count, nine notes are not enough to reconstruct Weissmuller's voice.

Purpose of use

As with the aforementioned .ogg file, this notation is being used for commentary on the recording in question. It contributes significantly to the article in a way that cannot be duplicated by other forms of media.

Replaceable?

No. Free yells are not notable, and notable yells are not free.

The following LilyPond source code produced this image:

\include "english.ly"
\header{
  title = "Tarzan yell"
}
\relative c' {
  ef4. \times 2/3 { bf''16 f, bf' } gf,2~ |
  gf4. \times 2/3 { bf'16 f, bf' } ef,,2
}
