Does anyone know where I can get a list of animal sounds in Thai? I know that อู๊ด (or some variation of that) is the Thai equivalent of "oink" for a pig sound but I want to have the spelling right. The "official" sounds for other animals would be great too. Thanks.

There's also this one from Learningthai.com

I'm wondering if Thai distinguishes the different dog sounds as English does:

bark-bark
bow-wow
woof-woof
arf-arf
yap-yap

(as well as howl and whine)

Is เห่า only the act of howling, or is it also the sound of howling? (Is the tone correct? I had an argument with my wife over this one.)

We have a Thai children's book where the dog says "บอกๆ โฮ่งๆ" so it seems like there are at least two.

The dog one really got me at first, I mean, hoong? haha

I came upon another animal sound today; หง่าวๆ

Anyone take a guess on which animal it belongs to?

The first link that Khun Simon linked is a list of what you would call the way different animals make sound. If you are looking for onomatopoeia, this isn't it. The second link that Khun Jariya linked is a list of onomatopoeia.

Is เห่า only the act of howling, or is it also the sound of howling? (Is the tone correct? I had an argument with my wife over this one.)

เห่า is actually barking. หอน is what you want to use for howling. As to how to spell the sound of howling, i forgot.

Khun Simon, I think that one is a cat, not a common one I don't think.
