This paper aims at examining the non-linguistic sounds as they were tackled by the earlier linguists. They were not directly concerned with this topic but they studied it randomly such as explaining an idea or citing an example about the organs of speech. Their neglect of this topic is due to their concern with phonological studies of the Holy Qur'an. Phonological studies, therefore, were mainly concerned with the Qur'anic readings and the accurate pronunciation of Arabic sounds as the Holy Qur'an was revealed to Prophet Mohammad. That is why phonological studies were not important for them because of their little benefit. However, the study of sounds in general recurred in linguistic books and books concerned with animals. Linguistic books relied mainly on watching and listening and then discerning the intention behind such sounds. This will be the concern of this paper which deals with sounds in general, their definition, and the difference between them and other linguistic sounds concerning their production and manner of articulation
