that is the one I call a purr, It is a sound you must be close, very close to hear. There are many different sounds.
The purr is like that of a cat contentment.

Happy sounds..

1. louder, faster click we call a chatter.. talking..saying hi..etc..
2. chirp.. mainly when eating their fav food like mealworms..
3. histing.. there are a few different ones of these. This one is them saying "come here" Usualling done when you are away from them. Another is when they are cleaning their faces, that actually spit into their hands..
4. barking this is a call mainly , but not always, done at night.
mine also make a sound that sounds like they are trying to talk to me, she moves her mouth and omits a few sweet sounds..
5. singing. very methodical, usually done to their joeys..

not so happy sounds
Crabing-- it sounds much like those clackers that spin on new years graduating in levels.
histing.. annoyance..a leave me alone warning sound.

Have fun.. enjoy..
