Geckos do indeed chirp or squeak as many of them have vocal cords. However, other species in the order Squamata (scaled reptiles: lizards and snakes) do not possess them. Geckos will vocalize for many of the same reasons as other living things: mating and scaring off predators. Just today a Western Banded Gecko "yelled" at me as I sought to remove her from my classroom.

Budgies chirp as a form of communication. Depending on the varying degrees of pitch and style of chirping, the chirp can mean several things. It could be a contact call, meaning that the budgie would like to see you and associate with you. If the budgie fell off a perch or got stuck in a toy, the chirp would be more high pitched, louder, and panicky. It is indicating that it is in trouble an in need of assistance asap. There are several things that their various noises could mean, but it boils down to their way of "talking".

Depending on the specie of gecko may determine why it is vocalizing. Geckos are the only reptiles that are able to vocalize and communicate with one another. Tokay geckos are extremely aggressive and will usually bark or snap at an approaching hand or finger. Species such as leopard geckos are most vocal during the breeding season, females will sometimes bark at an approaching mate. Others, like crested geckos during breeding season, will call to attract a mate. Males can be heard making consistent grunting noises.

Cheetahs chirp to communicate with their young or if they live in a pair, with each other. In zoos and reserves, they'll also chirp to show they're hungry or want something.
