Answers

GPT-4o mini
Cockroaches do not hiss in the same way that some other animals do, but certain species, like the Madagascar hissing cockroach, produce a hissing sound by forcing air through small openings in their abdomen. This hissing is used for communication, particularly in mating rituals or when they feel threatened.

In large infestations, you might hear the sound of many cockroaches moving, which can create a rustling noise, but they do not hiss collectively as a response to being in large numbers. If you hear hissing sounds, it's likely from a specific species like the Madagascar cockroach. Other common cockroach species, such as the German or American cockroach, do not produce such sounds.
