Get close to a male Swan with cygnets and find out!

Actually they do make sound but are just comparatively quieter than other swans.

Of course not! Swans are breathing birds and while they aren't able to articulate too many sounds they can make enough noise to scare off preditors. Like ducks and geese they can make a loud honking type of sound. If you want to find out, try getting to close to a swan with a clutch of babies!

No, Mute Swans aren't actually mute, they are just really quiet.

No, I just had a conversation with one yesterday

Actually- although they tend to be quieter than other kinds of swans, they are not actually mute, but do vocalize.

No they just do it when in costume. I hate it when they pretend they are trapped in a box.

No the just very seldom make noise.

NO, THEY JUST CHOOSE NOT TO MAKE THE SAME SOUNDS AS MOST SWANS OR GEESE.
