They make the noise from there trunk they just blow and that makes the sound.
They also make noises in their body cavities (infra sound) that we can not hear which is propagated through the ground.
sounds that they can hear
Elephants are said to make a trumpeting sound.
You can write "What sound do elephants make?" in Japanese as 「象(ぞう)はどんな音(おと)を出(だ)すの?」(Zou wa donna oto wo dasu no?).
Yes. Elephants have a very loud sound. When people walk in forests and other areas surrounded by elephants, the sound made by the elephants indicates whether they are near or far away from them. - Elephants also make an ultra low growling sound. Research has shown that elephants will make this noise travel through their huge feet into the ground. The sound can be heard and identified some 3 kilometers away by other herds
They sound like a trumpet. Either that or someone blowing their nose really loud or obnoxiously, which is basically what elephants do with their trunks to make the noise.

It's called trumpeting, but the spelling is debatable.Elephants trumpet.
For the last 15-20 years, researchers in Africa have been identifying sounds that are common in different groupings of elephants. This is proof that elephants do use their sound for communication, which is what most, (if not all), mammals use sound for.
Elephants make a number of sounds. They make specific sounds related to sex and danger which we can hear and understand. However, they have a much larger number of sounds which are too low in frequency (infra sound) for our ears to hear which is propagated via the elephant's legs and feet through the ground over great distances. The most common sound (that we can hear) that elephants make is called trumpeting. We can also hear them make a low rumbling noise. Examples of this can be heard by clicking on the related link.

The sound that an elephant makes is called a trumpet. Trumpeting is used to contact other elephants in a herd or to warn others of danger.
