- gobbling is loudest from the roost and loses volume from the ground
- The notes of older gobblers are generally loud and are distinctly separate
2. Spit and drum:
- The chump lasts less than 1/10 of a second with a 1,000 Hz frequency
- The hum has a very low frequency, below 60 Hz
- The gobbler will take two-three quick steps in a strut, snapping his wings forward wild dragging his outer primary feathers on the ground emitting the humm sound
3. Plain yelp:
- The call is typically 5-10 notes
- The median pitches of the adult hen is about 1,000 Hz, the adult male slightly lower

- Four-to-six note call sounding more muffled and nasal
- Similar to the plain yelp
5. Lost yelp:

- The range in pitch of single notes is 600-2,000 Hz in hens
6. Assembly yelp:
- Level in pitch, with each note the same as the one before
- A raspy call with a pitch of 900 Hx
7. Cackle:
- 10-15 irregularly spaced notes at 1,000-4,000 Hz

9. Plain cluck:
- Median pitch of the adult hen is 1,300 Hz
- Given singly or in a short series of two or three, about 0.04 seconds apart
- Assembly clucks are single notes less than 0.5 seconds long, rising in pitch at the end of the note
10. Alarm Putt:
- A pitch of 400-1,500 Hz for adult males and 500-2,000 Hz for females
