clucks
Noises from chickens
Clucks are the short, throaty sounds chickens make—a series of low, repetitive notes.
By extension, clucks describe similar sounds of disapproval or sympathy from humans: She made little clucks of concern.
To cluck is to make these sounds, or to express fussy disapproval: The neighbors clucked about the overgrown lawn.
