An international couple were stunned to discover the very different noises animals are associated within their respective countries.

Marta Mielczarska, from Poland, and Randy Lehoe, from Vermont, US, have been married seven years, but recently realised they had one very striking difference: the way animal noises are interpreted in each language.

They shared their surprising find on TikTok, which has gone viral with 1.2 million likes and over 14 million views.

In the clip, they test animal noises including frogs, roosters, pigs, horses, dogs, and ducks.

Sitting side-by-side, they take turns to demonstrate, with incredibly different results.

Notably, the pig noise is “oink, oink” for Randy, while Marta makes a “croom, croom” noise.

Another significant difference is with the horse – while Randy says “neigh”, for Marta the animal noise sounds more like “yee-haw”.

For man’s best friend, Randy says “woof, woof” while Marta says “how, how”.

The video hilariously ends with a similar noise – duck – but while Randy says “quack, quack”, Marta repeats the word over and over, saying “quack, quack, quack, quack, quack”.

Viewers were stunned by the video.

User Katie commented: “Why did I never think words for noises would be different in other languages

“I’VE ALWAYS WONDERED IF OTHER LANGUAGES MAKE THE SAME ANIMAL SOUNDS,” another user said.

User Em added: “Nah the frog one is wild.”

“Animal sounds aren't universal?” user Bunny asked.

User Braden wrote: “Duck says what now?”

“We met when I was stationed at Camp Pendleton while enlisted in the Marines and got married a few months after meeting,” Randy said.

“Marta was born and raised in Poland and came to the US as an au pair when she was 20.

“We have been married for seven years and currently live in Beverly Hills.”

“The Polish duck is having way too much fun,” another viewer commented.

User Danielle added: “As a Polish kid growing up in California...so many concerned parents at the park.”

“You mean to tell me if I go to Poland, a duck will yell at me in a different language too,” another viewer joked.

Luckily, for the happy couple, love conquers language.

“We met when I was stationed at Camp Pendleton while enlisted in the Marines and got married a few months after meeting,” Randy told NeedToKnow.online.

“Marta was born and raised in Poland and came to the US as an au pair when she was 20.
