Onomatopoeia!
Thu Jul 29, 2004 2:52 pm
What would the sound a bat makes onomatopoeia sound like? If any one can help me on this, I would be incredibly grateful.
(Onomatopoeia is the written word of a sound, for example, woof, meow, moo, etc.)

Uh... Maybe "Echolocation, echolocation, echolocation"? 
Uhm, yeah, anyways... Probably like screech or flap.

It would be asimple ping or a screech, as bats are unable to pronounce anything else besides those sounds

"EEEP" or "SCREEECH!"
Bats make high pitched screeching noise, usually too high for humans to hear, however when you can hear it, it sounds like a screech.

Unless it's a cricket bat, in which case it would be 'clunk'

Yeah I was thinking the same thing (well baseball but yeah) and that would be "Crack"
As for a mammel bat. "Screach" maybe or "Squee"

Yeah, I'm talking about the animal hear. *punches self in head*
What about KREE! Could that be a bat sound?

If its a flying fox bat, it should sound something like this: http://sres.anu.edu.au/associated/batatlas/ffox.au

Whenever Onomatapoeia is mentioned I immediately think 'Batman'
Anyway, if you've watched all those bad movies with swarms of bats you'd know they all make a sound someone in between eep and squeak.

Deaf bats make sort of an "eep! eeep! eep! THUNK!" sound. Why do you ask?

What's yellow and writes?
A ballpoint banana!
Yeah, those old Batman shows were so corny. But I loved them anyways. 
Well, I need to know this so I can have a conversation with my bat. (You think this sounds crazy, but it's not. Trust me.).

Flehflehfleh. Like wings. I don't think bat sounds are in the human hearing range, but don't hold me to that.
"kree" sounds the coolest though.

I think it depends on the bat species.
