What sound do Gorillas make?

[trigatch4]

This is a serious question and not some dumb joke. I need to know for one of my websites:

birds "chirp"... pigs "oink"... cows "moo"... what sound would you say gorillas make?

Thanks in advance

my son says "OO OO aww aww" or "RAARRR"

 

[Bofu2U]

rawr, oo oo aww aww, scream

They make a sound roughly identical to that of a dying giraffe.

Now that I've got a sprinkling of the answers I expected... let me follow up with a clarifying question:

Is "ROAR" a sound that Gorillas can/do make or is a "roar" reserved for the lion?

HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO.

 

[Demon]

HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO.

I believe it would be 'OOH OOH OOH' and not 'HOO HOO HOO' [/sips tea]

 

[ummdav1d]

yeah i'd go with the deep "ooh ooh ooh"

 

[SUP3RNOVA]

Nah I'd still say HOO.

 

[IronLogik]

HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO.

i concur.

Are we talking about an angry or content gorilla?

If only jane goodall was on this board..

I think it goes something along the lines of Ha-Roo if it wants to make a point or a simple Huh if it is communicating normally.

I'd probably call it a grunt or something.
