Schmidt (surname) Schmidt is a common German occupational surname derived from the German word Schmied meaning blacksmith and/or metalworker. This surname is the German equivalent of Smith in the English-speaking world.
The sound is called a bleat. As to what the sound actually sounds like, that depends on the breed of goat. My Nigerian dwarfs, on the other hand, make a sound similar to that of a sheep.
my sheep baa- baa. the goats maa-maa - which tends at times to sound like a preschool child yelling ma-ma . cant tell you how many times i have gone frantic running out the door thinking one of my 4 human kids were in trouble only to find dumb old goats standing there looking at me like i was a looney.
