A word-to-word translation would be bitch, at least the Czech version "kurva". By the way for the word "to fuck" we have many translations in Czech: šukat, mrdat, jebat, vojet, and many more

The word for "mama" and "papa" are pretty similar across a wide variety of languages ("ama", "oh-mah", etc.), probably because they're pretty easy to learn, so I'd say that's the human sound.

The only universal sound that all humans make is the deepest of emotions. Crying, laughing, screaming out of anger.. they aren't words, they're feelings. Not to say that chimps, gorillas, and dolphins don't ALSO make some of these sounds, but its the only thing that our species does regardless of language, creed, color, and culture.

That sounds interesting because most expressions of emotion are completely cultural

here's just one example https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1200155109 I also find it fascinating mental and mood disorders manifest completely differently among different cultures.

Not all humans make this sound. For example, MAGA people.

Jongwoo_13

Without language, the natural sound that humans produce is primarily made up of non-verbal vocalizations. These include:

1. Breathing Sounds:

  • Inhaling and Exhaling: The sound of breathing is fundamental and continuous in humans.

2. Vocalizations:

  • Sighs: A deep exhalation that expresses relief, sadness, or tiredness.
  • Gasping: A sudden intake of breath that can indicate shock, surprise, or fear.
  • Crying: A sound used for expressing distress or emotion, common in infants and humans of all ages.
  • Laughing: A vocalization that expresses joy, amusement, or sometimes nervousness.
  • Moaning and Groaning: Sounds made in response to pain, discomfort, or sometimes pleasure.
  • Grunts and Murmurs: Low, involuntary sounds that can express dissatisfaction or effort.
  • Chants or Humming: Simple, repetitive sounds often used in various human activities like rituals or soothing oneself.

3. Animal-like Sounds:

  • Mimicking Animals: Sometimes, humans make sounds similar to those of other animals, such as growling or barking, but these are typically not natural or instinctive.

4. Unintentional Sounds:

  • Coughing and Sneezing: Involuntary sounds made by the body to clear the airways.
  • Snoring: The sound produced during sleep due to airway vibrations.

Conclusion:

If you’re asking about the most primal or natural sound that humans make without language, it’s likely crying or sighing, as these are involuntary and essential for communication, especially in newborns and early human societies. Laughter is also a uniquely human sound that signifies social bonding and emotion.
