Goats are known for their sometimes very loud vocalizations, and they make a "baa" sound similar to the sound a sheep makes, but goat vocalizations are closer to whats called a "bleat," which is a sound also sometimes made by cows and deer. The pitch and loudness of the bleat vary widely among various breeds, and some females have a quiet, gentle bleat, while some shout loudly and in a high pitch. Although goat sounds may all sound the same to the untrained ear, they actually differ based on what the goat is trying to communicate. For example, goats snort-bleat to alert others to potential danger, and they also make different sounds when they are excited or joyful. Furthermore, kids make specific sounds when they cry for their mothers.

In summary, goats make a bleating sound, which can vary in pitch and loudness depending on the breed, and they make different sounds to express different emotions and messages.
