They have a surprising social network and system of communication. I think Igs have cornered the market on reptile communication. Tegus do make little huffs, bigger huffs to signal courting interest or warning. They arch their backs, tail wiggle, lift and lower heads. OK, that's not sound, but cool to watch.
I think crocs and geckos have the best sound signals. My little female crested gecko would shake her head and say, "Nooooooo" whenever the male got close. Needless to say, she never produced viable eggs for me. haha
