Why can't they talk? Well, the shape and density of the vocal chord materials makes it possible to formbasic hoises (like a trumpet, tuba, etc). The mount of air they force through those chords affects volume and tone. Howling (in dogs and other canines) is a slow release from the diaphragm which vibrates the vocal chords in a certain rhythm depending on what type of howl they want. A whine...same thing. A bark is one forceful espulsion of air.
