What kinds of noises do loggerhead turtles make?

Loggerhead turtles produce a variety of sounds, primarily during mating and nesting activities. They can emit grunts, growls, and hisses, which are believed to communicate with potential mates or signal distress. These vocalizations are typically low-frequency sounds that travel well underwater, aiding in communication over longer distances. While not as vocal as some marine animals, these sounds play a role in their social interactions.
