Pigs — oinkPigs seem to speak differently in every language, and in English they say oink. Pigs also squeal, which is a high-pitched whine.
Pigs and piglets will squeal/scream “at the top of their lungs†from pain or fear. When a pig screams from pain or fear, he will also try to get away from the trigger. His body language will be tense, his movements will be quick, jerky, sporadic (think of a chipmunk).
cowsay is a program that generates ASCII art pictures of a cow with a message. It can also generate pictures using pre-made images of other animals, such as Tux the Penguin, the Linux mascot.
A Pig life is called sty.
Two of the most commonly-heard calls are the 'bark' & 'scream', perhaps because these are the loudest and can be heard for some distance. Another common call is the 'wow wow wow' contact call, which sounds more like a bird to me than a fox!
Vocal Duck SoundsThe familiar "quack" attributed to all ducks is usually the female mallard's quacking, though many female dabbling ducks make similar quacking noises. Quacks are not the only sounds in ducks' vocabularies, though.
In the oldest “topolino - Mickey Mouse†the pigs go “gruf-grufâ€.
Why do pigs oink in English, boo boo in Japanese, and nöff-nöff in Swedish? It's not just pigs, the onomatopoeia we apply to most animal sounds varies delightfully across different tongues.
1. Pigs — Groin-groin. French porkers are not happy about their destinies as andouillettes, apparently; the description of their oinks in French is un couchon grogne, literally meaning “a pig grumbles.†The noun for an oink is also une grogne, which also means dissatisfaction.
Pink noise is a constant sound in the background. It filters out things that distract you, like people talking or cars going by, so they don't interrupt your sleep. You may hear it called ambient noise. Like white noise, it's a steady background hum that may give you a better night's sleep.

Common onomatopoeias include animal noises such as oink, meow (or miaow), roar, and chirp. Although in English the term onomatopoeia means 'the imitation of a sound', the compound Greek word onomatopoeia (ὀνοματοποιία) means 'making or creating names'.
Oink commonly refers to the sound made by a pig.
Just because pigs like to roll in mud, don't assume that they're dirty animals. To help protect their skin from sunburn, pigs use mud as a form of sunscreen. When mud dries on their skin, it forms a barrier against the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. A good thick layer of mud also helps to protect pigs from insects.
When you bray, you make the "hee-haw" sound that a donkey makes. The sound itself is known also as a bray. A mule or donkey's bray is loud and jarring when compared to the gentle neigh of a pony. If you have a loud, goofy laugh, your friends might describe it as a bray, too.
Elephant soundsElephants make a sound, known as a trumpet, to signal excitement, aggression and distress. This trumpeting can be heard from up to six miles away.

In Japan, dogs bark by saying wan wan (which rhymes with “on,†not “panâ€). Farther south, in Vietnam, a dog will let out a gâu gâu or a sủa sủa. But if you say either of those in Indonesia, you'll be barking up the wrong tree, because in Indonesian, dogs say guk guk!
