Forum Post of the Day: What's the sound Murlocs make?
by Elizabeth Harper 
Sep 5th 2007 at 1:15PM
On the official forums, poster Soylent has started a discussion of how precisely to represent the Murloc sound in text. Suggestions vary from the traditional "mrglmrglmrglmrgl" to "aurrrrrrrrruuuuggguglugglugglugluguaa," with Blizzard poster Bornakk chiming in to let us know that in the I Am Murloc music video, the official line was "rwlrwlrwlrwl," though he points out that both "mgrlllmgrlrrr" and "mrrglrlrlrmgrrr" are acceptable alternatives. Until Blizzard releases an official spelling and pronunciation guide, we're on our own -- so what do you do when you're trying to convey the frightful sound of the Murloc to others?Filed under: Fan stuff

Poor WOW Insider, if Blizzard doesn't lend the second expansion to its addicted slaves with no life fast enough, they are going to sink to subhuman stories very soon.

The tooltip on the Murloc costume buff itself has a Blizzard spelling.

I want the murloc sound as a ringtone

I have a friend who found the murloc aggro noise in the WoW MPQ files, and used it as a replacement for the windows error sound. Not quite the same as a ringtone maybe, but still amusing =)

Forget the spelling, how did they create the sound?
MystikRavyn/Autumnn Sep 6th 2007 1:09PM
What I want to know is how did they create the sound. Was it someone just making noises or actual words and they edited the sound? Is it some dog growling and they edited it? Is there any story behind the murgurllgurlgurl

Due to it being a gargling sound, I always do garglarglarglarglarglargl. Phonetically that's probably further off than any of the representations in the original post, though.

@ 8 and 10
I have the Murloc sound as a ring tone :)

I don't know how to spell it, but...
"the frightful sound of the Murloc."
Frightful? Really? The Fel Reaver sound is frightful. The Murloc sound is funny at best.
Ring tone? Hmmmmmmm...

I think it sounds like an alien turkey.
