Here are five easy ways to say that idea so a 6-year-old can understand:
- Giraffes make very deep sounds in their throats, so we don’t hear them and they seem quiet.
- Their throats make super-low noises, which our ears can’t pick up, so giraffes sound quiet to us.
- Giraffes hum in a very low way with their throats, so people think they are quiet.
- They make sounds that are too low for us to hear, so giraffes appear quiet.
- Even though giraffes make deep throat noises, we can’t hear those low sounds, so they seem quiet.
Quick explanation: The noises are so low that our ears can’t hear them. That is why giraffes seem quiet even when they are making sounds.
