      I describe fox noises as sounding like a combination of shock and pain, like someone getting unexpectedly stabbed in the back with a fondue fork at what was up until then a nice party.

      Yeah we have a bunch in our neighborhood and when they start going off it’s terrifying.

      They regularly use them as a sound effect in murder mysteries.

      Midsummer Murders, in particular, used the fox cry so often that I had to look up what the hell it was

      I’m going for the timeless classic : a cat in heat. In my experience they produce a wide variety of “kid getting murdered” sounds

        Dude. rabbits!

        Did not know the horror until family visited and their dog caught one and was playing with it. So terrifying!

        I’ve heard coyotes while trail running through the woods. That sound will definitely make you fucking run faster.

        Rabbits sounds like screaming babies! Nearly had a heart attack when one got stuck in the spokes of a decorative antique bicycle in the garden and the neighbour’s cat was swatting at it. My mom was out there crying, trying to pull it out.

          Must awaken something deep in the mammal brain. There was a video of a wildlife cam where a hawk or something grabbed a rabbit which started screaming, and a deer came running and absolutely stomped the life out of the bird.

      I live in a small city but fairly close to the edge of wooded hills. All sorts of critters venture down around my house. One day, a fox was running around, maybe 50 yards away. It looks at me, runs away a bit, stops and looks back, does it again. I’m on my front porch, near my door. It turns to face me and we lock eyes. Staring contest. We’re having a moment. Suddenly it barks, a gritty high pitched chirp. Felt like an ice cube slid up my butthole.
