I recently posted these two clips on the Shaolin forum

What struck me was the unusual sounds being produced by the practitioners. While contemplating these sounds I remembered some other clips I had seen.

Coming from a Wing Chun Kuen background I am not used to using such sounds. The White Crane I was taught only had one sound which was just exhaling with power with a "Huah" sound. I have been wondering the usage of such sounds and how beneficial they are?
