Females are in a whole other league from males when it comes to talkativeness! My most talkative goats have actually been Alpine does, but their voices are quieter than Nubians so they aren't as noticeable. Females of all breeds are often very loud when they're in heat. Many does don't start talking until after their first kidding. My vet laughed when I pointed this out one time. She said, "Yeah, that's because we mothers have kids and suddenly we can't stop yelling!"
Bucks are usually less vocal than does but more vocal than wethers. Wethers are the quietest group, but they will still call out when left behind or sometimes when hungry. The Nubians don't seem to talk any more than the other breeds, but their loud voices sure do carry on the rare occasions when they decide to holler about something!
