Our pets go through a lot of motions that indicate they're making noise. For example, Hounds and wolves sometimes look like they're barking or howling, Sabertooths (Saberteeth?) growl, Imps play their fiddles etc. and I thought it would be sweet if they actually made these noises. They wouldn't have to be loud, just some background noise to lend a little more authenticity. It would be especially cool if they made some noise when they cast their may-cast spells. I know this might be a bit resource intensive for something strictly cosmetic but I still think it would add to the game.
I totally agree and when we see the preview of them in shops then they would still make the sounds and what about before they hatch like the pet egg would make a crack noise letting us know it's about to hatch
