What's the Buzz?

The highly unusual "bzzzpeek" Web site gives you a chance to compare how people in different countries try to imitate animal (and some vehicle) sounds. Click on an animal or vehicle symbol, then on the language of the native speaker, to hear each result. The animals include sheep, pigs, turkeys, frogs, dogs, and cats. Among the countries represented are Great Britain, Spain, Poland, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. Requires a Flash plug-in.
