Strange noises??

Post by flyinmike »

Hello all, long time no posts. How's it goin'? This morning I was sitting at my computer and I started hearing a strange noise. I looked over at the 110 and my Royal was in the process of evicting the TSN from his favorite spot. One of them was making a noise I won't even try to describe. I've had the Royal for a looong time and have never heard that before. Of course, I've had the TSN for several months now and today was the first time Ive heard that noise. I know it was one of those two because the noise stopped as soon as the Royal was through with the eviction process. Any thoughts on which one?? 8)

One of them (probably the TSN) is stridulating as in this post.

Verrry interesting. Thanks much for the reply. I think I'll see if I can record it next time. Should go well with the clicking of my Clown L*****s. :wink:

The sound you heard probably sounds like the catfish stridulations recorded here.
