GPT-4o mini
Not all cockroaches hiss. The hissing sound is primarily associated with a few species, notably the Madagascar hissing cockroach (Gromphadorhina portentosa). These cockroaches produce the hissing noise by forcing air through small openings in their abdomen, a behavior often used for communication, especially during mating or when threatened.
Most other cockroach species do not hiss and rely on different methods of communication and defense. The sounds produced by cockroaches can vary widely, and many are mostly silent.
