Do Koala bears make sounds?

Answer 1

You really need to camp in an area where Koalas live to appreciate the sounds they make. At night, they are at their noisiest, especially during the breeding season. They grunt, cough and at times roar.
I was walking along Anakie Gorge, in Victoria, Australia, at the peak of the breeding season and nearing a bend in the track. I heard thumping footsteps coming towards me. It was a female Koala who was uttering the strangest noise. It was almost like a whimper. She took to a tree and I still could hear thumping noises. The biggest male Koala I have ever seen came around the bend. He was making a growling sound. I guess I interrupted the romantic interlude. I had a good look at both at both, in different trees, about 1 1/2m up.
Other than that, I have heard clicks, mewling and almost a purring noise. Especially when there are young around.
The worst noise I have heard from them is when a female screams at the bottom of her lungs when she is not ready to mate. The male keeps pushing and she is trying to protect her baby. The noise is amazing. I have seen it twice, and both times, all I wanted to do is stop the male. On both occasions, he gave up and I did not intervene. The reason I did not intervene is that I have seen what Koala claws and they know the best way to sort out their own problems.

Answer 5

They have a variety of sounds and the males can make a disconcertingly loud roar.

By the way koalas are not bears, their closest relatives are the wombats.

Answer 6

Koalas use a range of sounds to communicate with one another over relatively large distances.

There is a deep grunting bellow which the male uses to signify its social and physical position. Males save fighting energy by bellowing their dominance and they also bellow to allow other animals to accurately locate the position of the caller.

Females do not bellow as often as males, but their calls too are used to express aggression as well as being part of sexual behaviour, often giving the impression of fighting.

Mothers and babies make soft clicking, squeaking sounds and gentle humming or murmuring sounds to one another, as well as gentle grunts to signal displeasure or annoyance.

All koalas share one common call which is elicited by fear. It is a sickening cry like a baby screaming and is made by animals under stress. It is often accompanied by shaking.

Koalas also communicate by marking their trees with their scent.
