I would describe it as a loud clucking sound. They used it to warn the little ones to get back inside the burrow. It's very loud and distinctive.

Fortunately we didn't encounter any rattlers, but I'm sure they were all over the place. The heat was brutal, so we never strayed far from our vehicles.

Thanks for the kind words.
