RANDOM, BUT IT MAKES ME FEEL SO MUCH SMARTER TO KNOW THESE THINGS.

First it's caterpillars, not catapillars, so you don't look uneducated by spelling it wrong.
Secondly, caterpillars do not make noise because they do not even breathe through their mouths. Like all insects, air enters their bodies through a series of small tubules along the sides of their thorax and abdomen.
Some caterpillars will make noise but that sound is made by them scaping their body against an object, usually a leaf to defend their nest if an intruder is near.

Of course they do. Every single footstep makes a sound, but it's way to small a noise for us to pick up. If they fall off of a leaf, they makde a little thud.
I do not believe they make any kind of chirping or whistling noise.

Everything makes "noise" if you mean by movement, because sound can be created from movement. Yeah, you probably couldn't hear it....

They probably do, but are too small to be heard...
