Star Trek's Tribbles are known for two distinctive sounds they make: a soothing coo/purr noise when they're petted, and a harsh, grinding shriek to express their dislike of Klingons. Have the cast or crew ever talked about where those sounds came from?

My hairless Guinea pig makes the same sound a tribble makes when they are happy and calm.– user29421Jan 2, 2016 at 13:51

From the Memory Alpha article for the episode The Trouble with Tribbles:
Sound effects editor Douglas Grindstaff combined altered dove coos, screech owl cries and emptying balloons to create the tribble sounds.

Wow. I came so close. I looked at the Memory Alpha article for Tribbles, but not the episode they appeared in! *sadface* Mar 16, 2013 at 5:20
