Just curious I have 5, 4 week old chicks and I noticed at least one is sounding different the past couple of days? I imagine they change as some point as they dont chirp forever is that all this is at this point?

edited to say "4" week old chicks! it's too early

My 10 week old chicks still chirp a little from time to time, but not as often - it's approaching more of a cluck sound now. But the 14 week chicks now make more of a cluck sound then a chirp. It's so cute to hear their voices change. Of course my rooster's crow has changed over time as well. He started his squeeky door sound at around 6 weeks and now has almost perfected it. My 2 week olds are still chirping away like little birds and fluttering around inside the brooder in our living room. I have noticed that with every hatch I've done, they start out with a cute little chirp the 1st week and that gets progressively louder and more often as they approach the 4 week mark. I move mine to the outside brooder at that point so I don't get to hear them as much.

I listend to my 10 week olds while I was outside today and they are definitely clucking more then chirping

I noted just a few days ago my 10 week old chicks are now combining chirps, whistles, and quacking croaks - their first attempt at clucking. As their voices change, you will hear all kinds of very strange sounds coming from your small fry.
