Yak sounds
What sound does a yak make?
Yak Sound Name in english is called Grunt.
Yaks are stocky creatures with high, humped shoulders and a wide skull. Males and females both have horns that grow out of the sides of their heads and bend upwards midway down their length. Domestic yaks can only grunt, thus the Latin term “Bos grunniens,” which means “grunting ox.”
The sound made by the yak is called a “yakk-yakk.” This noise is caused when air flows over the surface of the tongue. It can be heard at very low frequencies (below 20 hertz). These low frequencies are also why you can’t hear a yak’s cry above 59 hertz. Yaks have extremely high-pitched voices compared with other animals. While they’re not actually capable of making sounds above 2 kilohertz (kHz), their vocal tract creates sounds that are much higher in frequency than those produced by humans or dogs.
