3 out of 5 of my pyrs woo, woo, woo!  They blow their lips out and 
grin and woo, low and soft. What I call the woo, woo, is when they 
are talking to me and being funny about it.  Not WOOOOoooo, there's a 
siren or such, more like good morning or I'm glad your home, or I'm 
so happy to come inside to bed.  My rescue greets new human friends 
the same way, then when they laugh, you can't turn her off.  
Silliness!  At my house the woo is a greeting, or depending on the 
dog,  maybe back talk <g>.  Now here's something for a survey, how to 
our pyrs communicate with us....
