Do You Think the Noise Comes Out of the Trunks?

They used to, in the medieval times, draw elephants with actual trumpets for trunks. They think maybe a lot of medieval pictures are like this. They're more allegorical than actually literal. It would be very weird if they'd seen an elephant and they saw a trumpet. But the idea being that they did make loud noises and they thought the noises came from the trunks.
