Hissy Sparkling Headcanon: Communication

Until Sparklings are adjusted to compassionate parenting, they often are only heard making noises of complaint or defensiveness. However it has been recorded that some sparklings will form groups and they'll have their own little trills, whistles, honks, and beeps that mean different things. When they are more accustomed to a gentle parent they make a great deal more noise.

There's many many noises a sparkling will make with a wide range of meanings. And depending on their development the same sounds might sound different between sparklings. Here are just a few:

One noise that I like to think Hissy Sparklings make is similar to baby Alligators: LINK. Little pew pew noises. That's often a noise of agreement or acknowledgement. When used in repitition it means the sparkling is trying to grab someone's attention.

They'll make little Boo-oop? Voo-eep! noises to greet someone they like or express excitement.

When they feel safe and relaxed their little engines purr. Imagine a high pitched car engine rumble.

A loud grinding noise is often the precursor to an angry sparkling tantrum.

They'll often sound off a honk noise when they urgently want someone's attention. Aggressive repetitive honking is usually a sparkling being obstinate or throwing a tantrum. One single LOUD honk usually is a big "no!". Often heard as a defensive warning if you approach a feral sparkling too fast.

They are sometimes heard making a whistling noise to themselves when they feel content.

They are also little parrots at times. They'll imitate noises or words they hear similar to human children. The only difference is their ability to mimic is uncanny and often turns into shenanigans. Many a Cybertronian parent with a filthy mouth has been outed by a sparkling repeating a swear word over and over.

Sometimes sibling sparklings will annoy eachother with repetitive beeping, screeching, or honking

Many sparklings make a little mechanical trickling noise when they are thinking or focused. Similar to human tutting or humming.

Happy trills are very common when a sparkling feels happy and safe around a person.

Special Vocal Abilities

Some sparklings are created or develop enhanced vocal abilities naturally. Jazz was a good example of this, he is capable of basically being a one man acapella group and can talk or sing different notes at the same time in multiples of his own voice.

Soundwave and Bumblebee both developed an ability to naturally record and replay the noises in the world around them. A lot of Cybertronians can gain the ability to do similar things due to later life augmentations but it can happen naturally.

Some sparklings learn and develop a noise that is so high pitched that it is painful to the ear as a defense mechanism. These sparklings often will later use these ear piercing ringing noise as a way to throw a tantrum and get what they want. Some create this noise through their vocal processor and others develop it through somewhere else in their body like a siren.

Pre-war caregivers assigned to educate and raise the Medic caste had specific training for this ability since a siren noise was something they often did their best to force a young sparkling to develop for their assigned future career. Ratchet will never admit it but he was a rarer sparkling who developed his siren naturally at an even higher pitch than "desired" at a very young age so he would often harass his assigned caregivers with it.

Side note that I'll talk about more later but with regards to the Hissy Sparklings, they arent born inherently mean or aggressive.

They do come out built for self defense but the actual Hissy part comes from having to survive the labyrinth as well as the treatment of pre-war sparklings. Think of feral kittens. Kitties arent born mean but they learn to hiss and bite to survive. Some sparklings even form little packs and are very affectionate with eachother.

Okay so i didnt make it a part of my official comm sheet BUT I am offering

*A character of your choosing as a hissy sparkling. Can be canon or OC*

as an option. They'd be sketches similar to the other hissy babies sketches i've done (it'll be sketchy but a little cleaner than those) and be $15 dollars

I'll make a prettier looking sheet about it but know that these mini comms are open and theres 5 slots.
