The Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) is one of the most recognisable animals by its sound alone.
What sound does a Chimpanzee make? A Chimpanzee makes a quick, cheerful chirp. Press the play button above to hear a real Chimpanzee pant-hoot and listen to exactly how it sounds.
A chimpanzee’s pant-hoot is individually distinct, so others can tell exactly who is calling. Listening closely is a lovely way to get to know the Chimpanzee and tell it apart from other mammals.
Mammals often rely on calls to bond with family and warn of danger. For the Chimpanzee, these sounds are an important part of daily life.
