"Platypus do not seem to make any calls or loud vocalisations. Occasionally, when disturbed or threatened, a platypus may make a soft growling noise. However, this is so quiet that it can only be heard at very close distances.
Platypus can also occasionally be heard sneezing but again, only at very close quarters. Such sneezing is probably an automatic reflex to clear residual water from their nostrils, which are located on the upper side of the bill."
