Yes turtles do make noise when they mate with each other.

When a turtle or turtles mate the turtles make a noise which is a peculiar barking sound.

If you hear a sorta peculiar or weird barking sound similar to a dog barking but you know it's not a dog barking then it's likely turtles mating.

Turtles mate at all hours of the day and night.

I used to hear a weird barking noise when I lived on a farm with my family as a kid.

I believe I was around 7 years old at the time and in my bedroom and I heard a weird barking noise and looked around for a dog or dogs and I saw nothing.

I was scared so I went to my parents and my dad said it was turtles making the barking noise when they were mating.

He was right and showed me 2 turtles mating outside near my bedroom window.

So yes turtles do make noise when they mate and it's a weird noise.
