Animal noises is an umbrella tag for any vocalization attributed to an animal species such as purr, woof, oink, neigh, and squeak in certain circumstances, to name a few. Many of these sounds have their own tags that should be used along with this tag.

This tag can be used for audio, and textual sources (sound effects). Animal noises are sometimes used as a form of ambient sound in animations.

Animal noise tags

Keep in mind that some of these tags may not be purely used for the sound if the sound itself is associated with a well recognized posture mannerism. The howl tag may not always contain a howling sound for example. Most textual examples will count as onomatopoeia, but some may have exceptions. Purring may be either an approximated sound, or an onomatopoeia.
