This paper presents Soundbay, an open-source Python framework that allows bio-acoustics and machine learning researchers to implement and utilize deep learning-based algorithms for acoustic audio analysis. Soundbay provides an easy and intuitive platform for applying existing models on one's data or creating new models effortlessly. One of the main advantages of the framework is the capability to compare baselines on different benchmarks, a crucial part of emerging research and development related to the usage of deep-learning algorithms for animal call analysis. We demonstrate this by providing a benchmark for cetacean call detection on multiple datasets. The framework is publicly accessible via https://github.com/deep-voice/soundbay
