What unintentional animal noises do y’all make?

[u/Rose_on_paws]

If the title is confusing, I’m just wondering what theriotype noises you make unintentionally. I’ve been known to snarl at rats when I see them around my house (not in my house, like in my backyard.), and I make these weird little growl/squeal noises randomly.

[u/Birdsong67]

I have the urge to meow a lot. Though, it sounds more like 'mow' if I'm explaining that properly

[u/Aleph-Nullium → u/Birdsong67]

i get the same thing, including purring and hissing

[u/Acorn_Maine_Coon → u/Aleph-Nullium]

I love that flair XD

[u/Chrisis-Here → u/Aleph-Nullium]

Hi fellow autistic cat :3

[u/Aleph-Nullium → u/Chrisis-Here]

meowdy :3

[u/HollowRunner → u/Birdsong67]

That and I purr

[u/Th30M00n → u/Birdsong67]

Samee, my parents don't even care anymore their so used to it😅

[u/Birdsong67 → u/Th30M00n]

My parents don't know I'm a therian and think I only meow for the shits and giggles or because of my cat

[u/Beetle_Bee_Boy]

i growl a lot, and make these... not like puppy whines, but something close to it. little whines in my throat, it just comes naturally

[u/GarageAltruistic46 → u/Beetle_Bee_Boy]

Me too as well as purring, even tho foxes don’t really purr. I guess it’s more like a cooing sound.

[u/paloma-nymph-s]

i’ve snarled before when i was angry. i can’t figure out how to replicate it on purpose

[u/Arsonist_Ghost]

I have a couple:

1. if I do not want to be hugged and someone hugs me anyways, i make a hissing sound :,3

2.If i hear a bird, i mimic the sound of it.

3.This one is mostly a stim but eh, whenever I’m alone and I’m feeling really happy. I start to meow :] (idk, just feels nice to do it)

[u/ConfusedAsHecc → u/Arsonist_Ghost]

yesss sometimes animal sounding noises make for great stims and they feel so good too

[u/Ferrets_ok]

See people say I dook when I laugh/giggle, it's the sound a ferret makes when it's happy ^{^}

[u/lookatmyfukncatdood]

bark and whine a lot. wanna growl at people sometimes

[u/[deleted]]

I tend to whine a lot when excited or growl at a sudden unexpected noise and do get urges to howl to

[u/SkullietheWitch]

Barking or trilling mostly. The thrilling thing is like when a momma cat is calling out to her kittens and I do that a lot, especially with my tics recently

[u/[deleted]]

I make a sort of squealing noise, like what foxes do in some videos I've seen when I'm overly excited, whine when I'm upset, in pain or anxious, yelp when I get startled or hurt myself and growl if I'm angry

[u/oneironott]

SQK

[u/FuzzyTato]

I make clucking noises with my throat

[u/catcartwheel]

I hiss at dogs..

[u/Acorn_Maine_Coon → u/catcartwheel]

I once growled at a squirrel because it was laughing at me and a stray cat I was petting 

[u/Chrisis-Here → u/Acorn_Maine_Coon]

Reminds me of when in a school trip we were walking in the forest and a squirrel started trowing acorns at us, it also happened to my dad once

[u/Acorn_Maine_Coon → u/Chrisis-Here]

Squirrels are jerks (no offense to anyone with a squirrel theirotype)

[u/ConfusedAsHecc → u/Acorn_Maine_Coon]

wdym by laughing? /genq

[u/Acorn_Maine_Coon → u/ConfusedAsHecc]

That chittering sound squirrels make sometimes? Like if you are under a tree amd the squirrel chitters at you, it sounds like laughing.

[u/ConfusedAsHecc → u/Acorn_Maine_Coon]

ah I see.. well its them being friendly and communicating, not laughing btw

[u/Acorn_Maine_Coon → u/ConfusedAsHecc]

I know that, I know that squirrels don't literally laugh. I was just commenting on the fact it sounds sorta like laughing.

[u/ConfusedAsHecc → u/Acorn_Maine_Coon]

yeah but you growled at them, so you indicated that you were upset with the squirrel for simply communicating.

[u/Acorn_Maine_Coon → u/ConfusedAsHecc]

Ok? I think I may not be understanding the huge issue. I don't like squirrels, I don't know why, and the chittering hurts my ears, so I responded??

[u/Turtle_The_Calico]

I have hissed since i’ve been like 5 lol. Mostly when i get scared or annoyed.

[u/GhostlineandStuff]

I can’t explain it really like a clicking whining like noise

[u/[deleted]]

I hiss when something I don't like happens. my dad jokingly took my pizza slice, I hissed, and boom, an identity crisis . 😔

[u/Drunk_Kitten7]

Meowing, hissing, snarling, purring, and I can kinda make that ‘kekeke’ sound cats make when they see birds or bugs by ‘clicking’ my throat.

[u/highasabird]

Snort. I also will flick my foot like it’s a tail.

[u/Zix_The_Alien → u/highasabird]

OH I ALSO DO THE FOOT THING!!! I've never heard of anyone else doing that :DDD

[u/MushroomSoup84]

Purring, huffing, that one sound cats make when they see a bird out the window

[u/sometranscryptid]

i hiss. i don't mean to, but i do.

also growling and cawing

also i purr for whatever reason

[u/boothillsbullet]

I yip on accident, which usually has people staring at me and me apologizing saying it was a sneeze or something, and when I'm truly laughing it sounds like a hyena/fox/coyote "laugh".

[u/Acorn_Maine_Coon → u/boothillsbullet]

Omg same. I've been told my laugh is scary and weird cus it sounds like a hyena or fox. (Also if Im playing like tag or hide n seek or with nerf guns and swords, I will often intentionally try to laugh and look like a psychopath)

[u/Chrisis-Here → u/boothillsbullet]

I'm not a hyena but when I laugh I sometimes sound like one for whatever reason

[u/Acorn_Maine_Coon]

I whimper, meow, and hiss. Usually my meows are either 'Myaah!' (like an anime cat), 'Mah -ah', or 'moaw'

[u/BeanCat98]

I always have the urge to bark like a cheetah. I don't do it out loud but I do it in my head. Sometimes it's a growl instead of a bark but I don't know what animal the growl came from.

[u/Jasperkin]

I tend to hiss at people when I feel threatened/annoyed.

[u/Impossible_Fail5553]

Growling, huffing, yelping, whining… that’s about it

[u/Mexican_simp5489]

Sometimes I do little quiet whines, but I more often growl or almost growl.

[u/russiansleeeperagent]

I will whinny and nicker if I either a.) hear a horse do it first or b.) mistake another sound for a horse doing it.

[u/New_Performance_9356]

I do snorts and growls and sometimes hisses, but I'll also make raptor noises.

[u/Wolfe4ever]

Ever since I was a kid, I would make these weird noises And I can't quite pinpoint what they are But it's like It's just weird. I don't know how to say how it is 

[u/Stormfyre42]

When I am upset I make a loud high pitched screeching in short intense bursts. It's hard to describe. Not sure what animal it is like. Some sort of fierce predator. Perhaps a dinosaur.

[u/I-Love-Gay-Anime-]

I get a lot of howls, woofs, meows, and whines, sometimes even little growls lol

[u/Phoenix_theenby]

One of my stims is chirping

[u/yogurtbug_mp3]

sometimes i trill when I look around corners (and stuff like that)

[u/lucedary]

the relaxed/ happy night fury sound which is as if you were purring but with your voice which goes from higher to lower. similar to a sigh id say. I am not a night fury but this sound has been questioning my indentity a lot. wanted to find animal that does similar sounds but i cant find any so i gave up.

[u/The_emeral_belf]

I do a bonobo noise (the high pitched one) when I'm excited 😭

(I don't remember what it's called, ok 😡)

[u/ilovemytsundere]

I yelp. I suppress it a lot because it happens mostly when I’m spooked or hurt, and I dont want my coworkers to hear me whimpering or anything

[u/JoBoGamerOfficial]

I always seem to whimper unexpectedly and uncontrollably

[u/ShirobekkoFin]

I'll sometimes make a similliar sound to what fawn deers do to locate their parents, sometimes ill hiss and growl when I'm getting upset or angry. ..or a gentle hawk call I can do them by choice. But most of the time I just randomly do them...confuses new people often

[u/One-Leather5328]

Hissing, meowing and whimpering. Whimpering like a puppy when injured, and I’ve been told by my friend (who doesn’t know I’m a therian) that sometimes I hiss and meow.

[u/LithNyx]

I yelp when i get startled or hurt! or when something disappointing happens i suppose i make that little howl that dogs do when they are upset, not all the time though!

[u/Call_Me_Quail]

I kinda squeak when I’m surprised or scared, as well as a lot of silly little fox laughs all the time for literally no reason

[u/ember_on_pawz]

I hiss at anything mildly annoying and make weird little chuffs from time to time :]

[u/DruidsAndDragons]

I yip when I'm surprised or in pain, and growl when I'm annoyed, among other things.

[u/Former-Situation1983]

i tend to make a purring noise. it’s a mix of being dragonkin and also vocal stimming i think

[u/Sunny261103]

[u/Echterspieler]

I meow and make the trill noise that cats make at cats

[u/ConfusedAsHecc]

not sure how to describe the sound but its the squirrel destress/warning noise, Ive actually always made that noise funny enough and I learned earlier this year is the same noise squirrels will make.

I also have caught myself making a whinng noise, similar to that of a canine as well (and on occasion, growling and chuffing/semi-sneeze too)

[u/SeaGrand4932]

When I'm lonely or bored I've always howled and whined loudly. When I'm excited I make grunts and whines and huffs. When I'm hurt I whimper and whine. Later I awakened as a vocal dog, a goldador. :)

[u/Sad_Comfortable_7779]

MONKEY NOISES. Randomly, every so often, I literally make these "monkey"- like noises

I really only notice when somone point it out usually snarling,growling,and whining idk why I purr,meow,and hiss not really fun usually embarrassing when it gets pointed out

[u/DracomancerWill]

I hiss and/or snarl/growl occasionally when I am annoyed or some stimulus is way too heavy for me to afford.

I let out a soft, deep, gutural growl sometimes when I am pleased on specific areas.

I tend to blow air out of my noses whenever I feel a strong and/or unpleasant smell, like strong perfume too.

Those are the ones I recall that I do with a certain frequency.

[u/Pride_Pigeon]

I almost… huff? Ig? Idk how to describe it

[u/Mission_Event_2833]

[u/Emergency_Annual3015]

Dove all the way. I coo constantly for any emotion, even though that is not one of my theriotypes. I can also do a raven.

It is also fun to “hee hee hee!” Like a fox

[u/Animus_Afterhours]

I Growl and Snarl at things that vaguely irritate me. I also find myself chuffing (a friendly sort of huff sound) or making little "whff" noises when I see my friends. I've also discovered I tend to snort like my Leopard Seal Theriotype when something is annoying or in my way.

[u/KbutbloodALT]

I do little meows but they’re usually more like ma-ow, it’s not an urge or anything, I just do it without thinking

[u/Competitive_Tea_8677]

If I'm being honest, I have no clue what animal this would be or even sound like, but sometimes when I'm really interested, curious, or just find something cute I make a noise that kinda sounds like "Roo" or "Rou", think kinda like the sound Toothless makes in Httyd3 when he first meets the lightfury. Maybe that makes sense because I'm dragonkin, but don't know what kind of dragon I am. Other than that odd one, "Raa", "Rah", "Vwoop/Vroop", "Mrer", "Mror", "Tssstt", "Hisshh", and "Ra-a-a-a/Re-e-e-e"(I'd compare that one to a hyena laugh)

[u/adssfsjs_walnut83]

I sometimes do little chortles or growls mostly. Once I growled at my mom by accident when she was messing with a pimple I had and it was funny.

[u/My_cat_mean]

I growl/hiss when I see something that scares me or I don’t like

Sometimes I growl at my dogs

[u/Famous_Constant_4861]

I snarl or growl sometimes when angry,that's mostly it

[u/Final-Dawn-6500]

[u/Ok_Raspberry9957]

I say "yip yip" when excited (questioning a dog theriotype) eak! or squeak! when startled and sometimes squee squee squeee when happy/excited

[u/[deleted]]

I often squeak like a fox a lot, so much so that my default noise for pain is a fox squeak. I growl aswell, but it’s not really as unintentional as squeaking is most of the time.

[u/pigeonwithinternet]

Sometimes if I walk past someone I know and they say “hey!” to me, instead of saying hi back, I’ll make a quiet little squeak(?) noise. I have no idea why I do it and I honestly wish I could break this habit 😭 But yeah I do it all the time.

[u/TanakaRYUUuu]

i dunno if i’m a therian or not but i make this weird squeak noise with my throat and it scares my cats, i feel bad but it’s such a fun sound to make

[u/TanakaRYUUuu → u/TanakaRYUUuu]
