Most of the time, they won't get any louder than they have to. YOU, as the outside turkey, have a different motive. You can't walk over and join the flock (like a turkey would). YOU have ulterior motives, lol.

They're generally very vocal earlier in the season and less vocal as Spring progresses. Generally.
A hen isn't shy or quiet when she's looking for a longbeard.
One more thing you've got to really listen. When you're moving you're making noise and won't hear the hens much. Foliage is another factor cuts down on hearing as season progresses.
