animal sounds
Barks and chirps
Animal sounds are the noises that creatures make—barking, meowing, chirping, roaring.
The phrase often appears in children's educational contexts: The book teaches animal sounds.
These vocalizations have conventional spellings in each language; a rooster says "cock-a-doodle-doo" in English but "kikeriki" in German.
Animal sounds also refers to imitations of these noises: The toddler practiced her animal sounds.
