This video is a pretty good example of the general "hanging out" noises that Crimson-bellied conures make. For alarm calls, they sound similar to Green cheek conures.

Like most Aratinga conures, Jenday's have a loud voice. They generally vocalize in the early morning and evening, though you need to be prepared for them to do it intermittently.
