Cheetahs make all kinds of sounds, but you'll never hear them roar! Even adult cheetahs communicate mostly through chirping sounds, though they can also yelp, purr and hiss. verbal communication is mainly used between mother and cubs, but may also be used as a warning or to signify danger #fossilrimwildlifecenter #cheetah #purr | Fossil Rim Wildlife Center

Cheetahs make a variety of sounds, and unlike most big cats, they can’t roar — but they do purr, chirp, hiss, growl, and even meow! Their purring is soft and steady, usually heard when they’re relaxed, happy, or bonding — a bit like a house cat, but deeper and more rhythmic. When excited or calling to each other (especially moms to cubs), they make high-pitched chirps that sound almost birdlike.
