Answer 1

Here are a couple of websites you can go to hear them: http://personal.smartt.com/~brianp/allsounds.html This one will tell you the mothers and the babys and different sounds.

This website explains more : It also has a place to click on to hear sounds. http://www.geocities.com/outlaw_llamas/sounds.htm

The clucking sound which llamas make sound similar to a person clicking their tongue from the roof of their mouth to the bottom of their mouth. The sound is not as sharp and is a little more resonant and nasal then clicking the tongue. Llamas don't make this sound often and also when they do this they hold their ears back. Some will cluck quite often while others will never cluck they seem to cluck when they meet new llamas or when they are flirting with the opposite sex. The young females who have not had a cria may cluck at the crias they come in contact with.

An ogle sound is similar to someone gargling. Male Llamas will ogle when they are aroused or when they are breeding a female. The male will make this sound when he approaches a female for breeding and will continue until the copulation is complete. This can last from anywhere to 20 minutes to one hour. The males do not show any signs of discomfort during or after ogling for so long.

Llamas will make an alarm call if they feel threatened or startled by something, which concerns them. This is a loud high pitched, rhythmic sound. It sounds like an engine trying to start or a turkey call; it is really very difficult to describe. When you here the alarm call it is very startling and distinctive and you will recognize it if you here it.

In the wild, llamas traveled in herds. When one of them spied a predator they would make an alarm call to warn others, and this still holds true. If your llamas are making an alarm call, go investigate. Maybe what they are seeing may not be a threat, but they are seeing something.

Many owners thought that llamas hummed because they were happy or content, but it is really quite the opposite. They hum for many different reasons some being, when they are tired, distraught, hot, uncomfortable, curious, worry or when the mothers greet their new baby. The same hum is not used to express the same things.

When they are overheated or uncomfortable the sound is similar to a groan. It is a softer sound, it is not very forceful but more drawn out. As the llama becomes more uncomfortable the hum could get more forceful and will become more insistent.

The llama will give a shorter higher pitched hum if they are curious and it will get higher where it will sound to you like they are asking you a question. This happens when they see some thing new or a new llama, or if you are in the barn doing something different.

When they are worried or distraught from being left alone too much or weaning will produce another type of hum. This will be a higher pitched sound, longer and can be quite forceful. It is often a louder hum because it is produced with a lot of force. There will be a worried or panic tone to this one that is why this sound is different.

A mother communicating with her new cria is the last one. This one is a smooth pitched and is of a moderate sound. It will be mellower and more relaxed or it can be more excited. This is caused by the personality of the dam. She does this sound to greet her cria, and to reassure it and to create a new bond.

Llamas basically make 3 sounds:
(1) A clucking sound which llamas make sound similar to a person clicking their tongue from the roof of their mouth to the bottom of their mouth. Llamas don't make this sound often and also when they do this they hold their ears back.
(2) An ogle sound is similar to someone gargling. Male Llamas will ogle when they are aroused or when they are breeding.
(3) An alarm call if they feel threatened or startled by something, which concerns them. This is a loud high pitched, rhythmic sound. It sounds like an engine trying to start or a turkey call; it is really very difficult to describe.

Answer 3

The best site I know of is http://personal.smartt.com/~brianp/allsounds.html.

Llamas basically make the following sounds:
-Click
-Humming
-Orgle
-Alaram Call
-Snort

Llamas click when they are mad, upset, or my male clicks when he's trying to mount our female. I think he clicks to make the other llamas get away. He also clicks at my goat when she annoys him.

There are different hums for different reasons. Mother's hum to their crias to soothe them and to identify herself. Llamas in general hum when they are bored or anxious. Llamas will hum more loudly if they want to get their point acrossed that they are mad or they are getting impatient. Then they have a high picthed hum for when they are really trying to get noticed, or they are scared. Our male does this when I take my gelding out of the pen and he wants to go along.

Orgling is usually a sound that is prodcued when llamas are breeding. Usually the male always produces this sound. He usually does this because he is aroused.

Alarm calls are like a shrill, high-pitched, laughing sound. Llamas alarm call to warn the other llamas in the herd of an imtruder or inpending danger. Our llamas alarm call when they see a coyote or strange dogs in the field. They also do this when they first meet a new animal on the farm like when i got some goats. They have also been known to alaram call when there is a wild rabbit in their pasture.

Llamas snort when they are upset. They also snort when they are breeding. This is their way of showing digust or warning others to leave them alone. My male snorts when he's breeding to make all the other llamas leave the area.

Those are basically the sounds a llama makes, there are wesbites on the internet that show sound clips of what each of these sounds sound like.
