Default Can cockroaches make noises

Theres a funny noise in my room
Animal noise
And its definately not the snakes
And I don't think the GAL's or tarantula or snake-neck make squeaking noises
It sounds like a hamstery thing apart from theres obviously no hamsters in there either, or loose mice as we have kittens that manage to track down the smallest of crickets, the noise is coming from the general direction of a box of cockroaches I got Saturday night, so can they make noises? LOL

Yup, my dubias make tiny squeaky clicks.

Are you fairly young? Apparently there are some sounds and frequencies that are too high for older folks to hear - and I suspect that these guys "talking" is JUST on the edge of what humans can hear. The older you get, the more 'frayed' the tiny hairs that pick up sounds get - and the less you can hear the very high pitched sounds.

I know certain species can make some form of noise, but this is generally from flapping their wings.

If the noise stops when you approach, then it's a cricket.

I have a colony of Dubias and have never heard them make an noise apart from moving around noises when they're walking on the cornflakes. Does that mean Im old lol? Im only 21

I'm nearly 50 love but can hear the dubia high pitched noises at first I thought it was a new frequency for my tinitus as I'm losing my hearing with my disease and they say higher pitches go first would appear not so in my case ---------- weird noise mind lol.
