自由放养的黑长尾猴在各种社交场合都会相互发出咕噜声：当接近一个占统治地位或从属地位的个体时，当进入一个新的活动区域时，或者当观察另一个群体时。像其他非人类灵长类动物的发声一样，这些咕噜声传统上被解释为一种单一的、高度可变的叫声，反映了信号者的唤醒状态。现场回放实验表明，人类最初认为是1的咕噜声，猴子认为至少是4。每一声咕哝都有一个特定的含义，似乎更多地取决于它的声学特性，而不是它发生的上下文。猴子在社会交往中发出的声音可能以一种基本的表征方式起作用，好像是在指定外部世界中的物体或事件。
Free-ranging vervet monkeys grunt to each other in a variety of social situations: when approaching a dominant or subordinate individual, when moving into a new area of their range, or when observing another group. Like other nonhuman primate vocalizations, these grunts have traditionally been interpreted as a single, highly variable call that reflects the arousal state of the signaler. Field playback experiments suggest that what humans initially perceive as 1 grunt the monkeys perceive as at least 4. Each grunt carries a specific meaning that seems to depend more on its acoustic properties than on the context in which it occurs. The vocalizations given by monkeys during social interactions may function in a rudimentary representational manner, as if to designate objects or events in the external world.
