Best Answer

Most of the time, koalas do not make any discernible sounds which can be heard by humans on the ground. However, during mating time when they become very territorial, they make an unusual growling or grunting sound, quite loud for such a small animal. They are also known to make loud bellows, snore-like grunts, snorts and wails.

To hear a koala, click on the picture of the koala on the Koala Foundation Site link below. (Wait awhile for the sound to load.)

How do people affect koalas?

People cut down the koalas' homes to make farms, logging, and urban houses. Urban sprawl leads to koalas killed on the road and attacked by pets. In the past, people hunted koalas and made them almost extinct; but laws were passed in the 1920s to protect koalas.
