Sounds

The noise a dog makes is called a bark. It can be written as woof, yap, ruff or bow-wow. The dog in the picture is barking at the camera.

Bleating is the noise sheep make. People also say that sheep go baa or maa.

A burp or belch is gas coming up from your stomach, through your mouth. Burps can be very loud, and can smell bad too.

A buzz is a kind of sharp humming sound, like the noise of a bee or some kinds of machinery.

A clink is the light, high-pitched ringing noise that is made when you lightly hit glass or thin pieces of metal.

Clink can also be used as a verb; the people in the picture are clinking their glasses together.

Clucking is the noise chickens make.

Cooing is the noise a dove or pigeon makes. It is also the noises people make when they are fussing over a baby or a romantic partner.

Croak is the noise a frog or toad makes. Sometimes people say "ribbit" instead of croak. Frogs make noise by passing air through a vocal sac, but by puffing out the skin on their throats they can make their croak so loud that some types of frog can be heard up to a mile away.

A crunch is a crackling noise that some things make as you break it. If you step on loose snow it will crunch under your feet. Many breakfast cereals make a crunch noise as you eat them.

An echo is reflected sound. You get echos most often in enclosed spaces with hard walls, like an empty room with wooden floors, or the inside of a large concrete pipe like in the picture. If you make a noise in a place like this, the noise you make sounds like it is being repeated back at you again and again, getting quieter each time.
