I think it would be interesting to start a dedicated thread about the different sounds in Chinese Martial Arts concerning animals. Sounds have been mentioned on the forum in other threads, but not a dedicated one, as far as I know.
Within Hung Ga Kuen there are many sounds, some relate to emotions, others to animals. The tiger for instance has a whaa sound, the crane a whoop sound. Without doubt there must be crane sounds in other crane systems. Systems that imitate monkey includes do mimic their sounds; does snake have a ssshh (or I have watched too many kung fu movies)? What about dragon systems? Do all these sounds vary with regards to mechanics, inflections, etc.
warm regards
NSLK

Good day nslk.
From what I know, Hung Gar's most interesting sounds would be those that reflect emotions. This is, IMO, to train the practitioner to harness the explosive energy found within emotions such as sadness, joy, anger and elation.
The Tiger has 2 sounds, as taught to me. First is the wah, and the other is a hiss, like when a cat hisses.
I am unable to elaborate further on the sounds within Hung Gar, I am afraid as I have been taught that the improper focus and vocalisation might lead to internal injuries. Perhaps finding a Hung Gar player near you to demonstrate would be good?
Warmest regards, Tze Hou

In my branch of CLF we have Yik, Wah, Tik for battle calls.
Yik for straight punches like chop choy Wah for tiger claws Tik for kicks
I know the Chan branch has more sounds for motions. I'm not sure of Buk Sing.

In NCK, we use a 'hai' sound for tiger, and a 'hut' sound when doing taizu or lohan. The monkey does not make a sound as far as I know, but the snake does hiss.
