Indeed, penguins of different species make different-sounding noises. I have only ever heard the sound of an African penguin live, though I've heard others through various means. Sometimes the purpose of a penguin's call is to identify itself to its chick or partner. Penguins are even capable of recognizing the unique sound of another from within a colony of thousands!

Here are two clips from YouTube with two quite different penguin sounds:

-African penguin (also known as the Jackass penguin): link
-King penguin: link

@JediPenguin16: You're welcome -- I'm glad I was able to help. I probably wouldn't have known all that myself if it wasn't for the show sparking my interest in penguins a year ago.

Different penguins make different sounds. Some penguins make a sound resembling that of a muffled trumpet. One species is called the jackass penguin because it sounds very much like a donkey.
