Where did the Tribble noises come from?
Star Trek's Tribbles are known for two distinctive sounds they make: a soothing coo/purr noise when they're petted, and a harsh, grinding shriek to express their dislike of Klingons. Have the cast or crew ever talked about where those sounds came from?
Best Answer
From the Memory Alpha article for the episode The Trouble with Tribbles:
Sound effects editor Douglas Grindstaff combined altered dove coos, screech owl cries and emptying balloons to create the tribble sounds.
