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.
