No. At one point, it was thought that giraffes were deaf and mute. But giraffes snort when alarmed, mothers whistle to their young, and the young bleat. At this point, researchers tend to describe giraffe hearing as at least on par with human. But more research needs to be done. One area of investigation's infrasound, or hearing by processing sound waves and vibrations.
