About goat and sheep sound effects
Goats and sheep both bleat, but they do not sound alike. A goat's bleat is nasal and wobbly, closer to maa, and it can sound strangely human, which is why screaming goats became a long-running internet joke. A sheep's bleat is the rounder baa of nursery rhymes, often with a steady vibrato. Young animals are higher and thinner, and a lamb or a kid calls sharply when it loses sight of its mother. Adult males, rams and billy goats, sound deeper and rougher. Wild mountain relatives do something else entirely: chamois and ibex give sharp whistles and snorts as an alarm, a sound that rings off rock and is nothing like a farmyard bleat. German keeps two verbs apart: meckern for goats, blöken for sheep.

Which one to pick
Goats
Short Bleat is a single call, Rising Bleat climbs from quiet to loud, Goat Bleat Wobble has the nasal shake, Nanny Goat drifts softly downward and Distant Bleat sits far off.
Sheep
Sheep Bleat is the classic wavering baa, Lamb Bleat is small and high, and Ram Bleat is deep and rough. Bighorn Bleat, from a wild mountain sheep, is deep and swelling.
Mountain alarms
Ibex Call and Chamois Whistle are thin, sharp warning sounds rather than bleats, right for alpine scenes and hiking footage.
Game sound
Eight-Bit Bleat is the only chiptune sound, for pixel art farms and retro interfaces.
