What sounds does a llama make?
The hum-m-m-m-m-m-m is the most common sound. It is a sign of contentment when they greet you with kisses at the fence or a mother with her newborn. A high-pitched hum, or a whine, is an expression of distress. The alarm call is similar to a horse whinny. This tells the herd to be alert. Something dangerous or unfamiliar has been spotted. Llamas will group together after hearing the alarm call and will all be looking in the same direction. Many times, the cause for alarm may be a dog or coyote. A clicking noise made with the throat is a sign of irritability or aggression. Males fighting for their territory make an unmistakable shrieking scream.
