The calf worshipped by the Children of Israel had a sound similar to which animal?

Explanation

This incident dates back to the time of Prophet Musa علیہ السلام when he went to Mount Tur. A man named Samiri made a calf from ornaments, and it emitted the sound of a cow. The Holy Quran mentions in Surah Ta-Ha that this calf produced 'khuwar' (the sound of a calf), and the Children of Israel began to worship it.

Good to know

The Holy Quran mentions this incident in Surah Ta-Ha (verse 88) and Surah Al-A'raf (verse 148). Samiri melted the ornaments of the Children of Israel and made a statue of a calf that produced sound, claiming it was their god and the god of Musa. Upon Prophet Musa علیہ السلام's return, Samiri was punished.
