Which is louder?

[Isadora]

I’ll take a rooster that doesnt crow.

let me know if that ever exists

It's the strangest thing... All the roosters in my freezer don't make a peep.

I wonder why! Your roosters must really like you then.

I agree with @Isadora ........
My bantam rooster has the most annoying little squeaky, wheezing crow. My full size has a nice deep cock-a-doodle-doo that doesn’t make me wanna slap him upside the head with a stick

who doesnt love a nice shrill screech, the perfect noise that makes you want to gouge your eyes out? I sure do.

now, deeper crowing roosters do sound a bit better, but a
Kosovo Longcrower or totenko, i think i’ll pass

The Neighbor is louder.

The posters above have adequately covered the reuslts of the physics.

If you can legally (per zoning) have your birds, your neighbor can pound sand - they've no right to tell you how to use your property. If you can't have your birds (per zoning), best to get real friendly like with the neighbors, hope, and explore re-homing options. "No Crow" collars for a rooster are NOT a solution.

How about a laughing crower like an Ayem Ketawa? Would you like one of those?

I'm sorry, I LOVE roosters crowing. Normal, standard, bantam, Longcrower, and laughing crower. I love them all!! Well, not all... I don't especially care for a Barred Rock's crow...

@cluckmecoop7, if you're worried about your rooster being too loud or annoying, I think it's a good idea to talk with your neighbors about it. Or, you can check your city's/town's ordinances. Check your Association if you live in one. If your city's/town's ordinances approve, then you should be good. But if your Association doesn't, then you could have a problem.

As far as getting a rooster goes.... The bantams are higher pitched. Thinking at the distances I listen to my neighbors' roosters, I'd say they might be about the same in volume, but to me, the bantams sound louder due to pitch. And these roosters I'm hearing, quieted by a barn and woods, I can hear them at my place which is about three acres away, and others I'm hearing, further than that. On my own rooster, a standard, I can still hear him on a walk of 5 to 7 minutes away. (That's with about 2-3 minutes walk of field in between.)

Or, if all else fails, but you most likely won't have any luck, but finding a decrowed rooster might be nice. I had a Blue Wheaton Ameruacana rooster named Simon that never crowed, clucked, or made any other rooster sound. I wouldn't want to decrow a rooster ever, but getting one that was really wasn't that bad. Just again, finding one that was probably would be hard to do.

Vanilla and truffles ruined my image of crowing, then! They crow atleast 1,000+ times a day, probably more! (Starting at 2:00 AM)

What breeds are they? As far as the time of day they're crowing at... Is there a light that they might be seeing (coop light, outdoor light, room light, car passing by headlights, etc)? Making the coop darker at night will help a ton at how early they crow! Is there noises that might be waking them up? I've been able to get some of my roosters crowing at any time of the night with certain noises, but also, if a neighbor's rooster is exposed to a little bit of light, they might get my roosters crowing too.

Don't worry. I would never ever use a crow collar.
