A trail camera from Whiteshell Provincial Park in Manitoba, Canada shows an up-close view of a gray wolf pack making a whole lot of noise. The gray wolves howl, yes, but they also make many other unexpected noises . . . like whining, squeaking, moaning, and screeching.

Turns out, these are just a handful of the noises wolves can make. One person who rescues wolves and dogs chimed into a forum asking about wolf sounds, and she said: “Wolves make a wide variety of sounds, including growls, howls, barks, chirps, and whines. In addition, the intonation with which each sound is made changes slightly its meaning, as does the context in which the sound is made.”
Daniel Alexander is the trail-cam owner who shared the video of the wolves being noisy on Instagram. He encourages his followers to turn their sound up to hear some of the eerie and downright odd sounds these wolves make as they come right up close to the camera.
