They are all different. For example in France, horses say "nuef!" and in Great Britain, geese say, "Hwang!" But in Italy, cats say, "Ciau-wow." In Austria (except in Vienna proper) beavers say, "Daschuute!" and in Hawaii they imitate pigs with the sound of "pahamui-mui." Islanders say that the apple in the mouth makes them speak the language of gods.

It is based in how those people hear the animals. The Hebrew version of Old MCDonald's has different sounds. Roosters go "kuku riku". In some places, cat's say "merow".

Well I know that a cockerel in English goes cock-a-doodle-do but in Spanish it goes Chi-chi-re-chi. When I first met my girlfriend (who is Spanish) I asked her all the animal sounds that I could think of! Some of them were VERY different. Strange isn't it!
