The Spanish sparrow's [[Bird vocalization|vocalisations]] are similar to those of the house sparrow. The male gives a call somewhat different from that of the house sparrow when displaying at its nest. This call is a pair of strident, disyllabic chirps, similar to those of the house sparrow, but louder and high-pitched, transcribed as ''{{not a typo|chweeng-chweeng, cheela-cheeli}}''. A similar call, softer and more like the house sparrow's ''{{not a typo|tschilp}}'', is used by birds arriving or departing at roosting sites. The Spanish sparrow's other calls are almost the same as those of the house sparrow. A soft ''{{not a typo|quer quer quer}}'' is given at the nest by mated pairs, a ''{{not a typo|quer-it}}'' [[flight call]] is given by flocking birds, and a ''{{not a typo|chur-chur-it}}'' call is given as a threat.<ref name="Summers177">{{harvnb|Summers-Smith|1988| p=177}}</ref>
