Cheetah sounds include purrs, bleats, barks, growls, hisses and chirps but the chirp can be heard a mile away! Many of their vacalizations are totally unlike those of any other cat. Some are described here:
	Churring: staccato growl, high-pitched Nyam-nyam: cubs' sound when feeding Ihn-ihn: mother's call to her young	Purring: like a house cat Staccato purr: sound made by courting males Bleating: like a meow - a distress call
Cheetahs can not roar. Roaring is made possible by a special two-piece hyoid bone in the throat. All of the non-roaring cats like the cheetah have a one-piece hyoid bone. Only 4 cats can roar: the lion, tiger, leopard, and jaguar.
