Noisy Nature: Difference between revisions

** And in ''[[Binchou-tan]]'' this cry is uttered by a ''duck''. Of course, it is also ''delivering mail'' at the time, so its cry is perhaps the least odd thing about it.

** Justified in ''[[The Rescuers]] Down Under'': Marahute is a fictional species (who seems to have been born fully fledged out of the [[Rule of Cool]]) and is voiced by a ''human'' (the extremely versatile Frank Welker).

* Though the idea that giraffes cannot make any sound at all seems to have been discredited, they are still very silent creatures. This is apparently disliked by filmmakers, who makes them sound like... ''rhinos'' (one example: ''[[Gladiator]]'' - the giraffes make the same sound as the baby ''Stegosaurus'' in ''The Lost World: [[Jurassic Park]]'', which in turn sounds just like the audio sample in Encarta's entry on the Black Rhinoceros)

* When a rat appears on screen, it will squeak. Real rats squeak very rarely, usually when fighting. They ''are'' very vocal, making lots of clicks and chittering noises... most of which are too high-pitched for humans to hear.<br /><br />Also, ''ANY'' Rodent will squeak, even if it's a rodent that makes another noise, like guinea pigs. Guinea pigs have a rather wide range of sounds, but the closest thing to squeaking is when they wheek. And where as a squeak is usually a small sound, a guinea pig's wheek is more like a loud yelling when they want attention. [http://www.jackiesguineapiggies.com/guineapigsounds.html Here are some of the sounds guinea pigs make,] and you can almost guarantee you will never hear them when a guinea pig is on-screen.

* Very evident in the [[DC Animated Universe|DCAU]]:

** Poison Ivy seems to have an army of impossibly vocal plants. If they've got a flytrap-like mouth, they'll roar or scream. If they've got [[Combat Tentacles|slithery vines]], they'll hiss.

** Can't forget the otherwise eerie "[[Batman Beyond]]" episode where an animate '''carpet''' rears up and roars.

* A shark who roars like a Mountain Lion is just icing on the WTF Cake that is the animated feature, ''[[The Magic Voyage]]''.
