There's no definitive "sound" for dragons. Cats meow and purr, horses whicker, nicker, whinny and neigh, but to date, there's been no real agreement on what sort of sound a dragon should make. There have, however been some generally popular ideas: (Often spelled phonetically)
Roar: A roar. Rawr/Rwar/Mrawr/Rawrm: A somewhat less intimidating roar. A friendly, sociable roar, or greeting - akin to the chuffing of tigers. One of the more popular sounds, also used by creatures of other species. Awr: A sound of disappointment. A variant of 'aww'. Wark: A noise also used by gryphons. An exclamation. Doot: A happy dragon sound, like "dook!" for ferrets. Thrum: A dragon purring. Also "rumble" in some of the larger varieties. Growf: like "rawr". Used as the common sound of the "What's New" dragon from Dragon Magazine's 1980s-era comic, What's New?. Croon: An intimate sound, most commonly used by parents to hatchlings. Kgnaw: like chewing, but in a dragon's way. Mwrewl: rarely heard more intimate sound of pleasure. Skree!: a screech, can be pleasure, violence, or surprise. Many dragon sounds are like meta-syntactic variables : they mean whatever you need them to mean.
