See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge These cute marsupials, in so far as I can tell make 4 distinct noises. The first is the 'get away from me or I'm gonna bite you' noise. This has been described as sounding similar to a miniature chainsaw or electric pencil sharpener. My friends and I have taking to calling this 'crabbing'. You may hear this noise a lot at first, but after a month you will learn what's they like and they don't and you may never hear this again (hopefully). The second is a happy chirp, which they make when excited or happy. The third is a quieter chirp which I have yet to find a purpose behind (other than simple communication). The fourth noise is a loud sharp barking. I believe this is some sort of call for other sugar gliders or just for attention from human owners. Unfortunately, this can be very annoying, in that I've been woken up more than my fair share by this barking. There is a .wav file of this barking at my glider homepage. Oddly enough, my male glider tends to do this more often during the period of a full moon.
