There’s my list from the wonderful world of animals. Long before it was one of the world’s most familiar social media networks, the twitter was used to describe the sound sparrows make. As big as an elephant is, wouldn’t you think they’d select a tuba to describe the sound instead of a trumpet? 10. When an elephant raises his trunk and makes that loud sound, it’s called trumpeting. This is one of two horse sounds that made the list. This is the more familiar sound a horse makes and it’s also referred to as a whinney, though some suggest a whinney is actually a softer neigh. Lowing is the official name of a cow’s “moo.” But when you’re talking about a cow, everyone will know what a moo is if you refer to it as a low, chances are they’ll have no idea. This sound is one we’ve all heard, although we’ve probably called by its much less formal onomatopoeia, which is a word that mimics the sound it describes. Here’s a sample of an exciting hyena at feeding time: The Spotted Hyena is commonly referred to as the “Laughing Hyena.” S cientists say there are about a dozen distinct vocalizations the animal can make. When you think of an animal that might laugh, you are likely to think of the hyena. It’s difficult to describe, so here’s a YouTube video so you can hear it for yourself: I’d never heard of this one, but it’s the sound made by a ferret. This is the “hee haw” sound made by a donkey. This is the “baaaaa” sound made by a goat. Here’s a red deer stag’s take on the sound from Denmark: This word is used to describe the sounds made by several animals, including a bull, a deer, a moose and a rhinoceros. On this list, the dook is a good example. In some cases, words that describe animal sounds are examples of onomatopoeia, words that mimic the sounds they describe. There are certain animal sounds that we all immediately recognize by name, like a dog’s ‘bark’ or a cat’s ‘meow.’ Here are some lesser-known sound names.
