Deer are relatively quiet animals especially when compared to other animals like birds or monkeys. However they can make a variety of sounds depending on the situation. For example bucks will grunt to warn other bucks away from their territory during the rut while does will bleat to signal their location to their fawns. Additionally deer may make snorting or sniffing noises when they are alarmed or trying to determine what kind of threat is present.
