Muh, wau, quack
In German, the cow goes muh, the dog barks wau wau and the rooster crows kikeriki. The donkey cries iah, the horse wiehert and the cat says miau. The sheep baas bäh and the goat bleats mäh. The owl cries uhu-uhu and the birds make piep-piep. The bee buzzes summ-summ. The frog and the duck are mutually comprehensible - they both go quack.
