Hmmm, now I got to try to speak turkey. Most hens will make a quick meep noise, repeated more when they are excited, but when they want to fight they take a more upright stance and run together a trilling sound often said with their necks slightly extended. I don't know if that makes sense, but it might if you heard it.
My toms gobble non stop at everything and anything, it can be very noisy. The hens mostly make meep meep sounds.
Turkeys can be at risk for predation while roosting in the trees, plus they can break branches and damage trees. Mine have tried a time or two to tell me where they are sleeping, but I always had the last say.
Clipping both wings can sometimes allow them to still fly as they are pretty powerful with their wings. I would try one, cut all primary feathers down to the secondary feathers and see how it goes. My younger ones were flying right out of our fencing until we clipped one wing and so far they haven't gotten out but are able to hop on a 3 foot wood fence as well as get up to roost.
