So what are you saying back to them?
Or are you just gettin ready at the moment?
Here's a good way to communicate with them if you haven't already.
I suggest a loudspeaker and xylophone, or at least some spoons to hit together (teaspoons by the way, tablespoons just won't work). The constant sound waves from the xylophone harmonise with their soundwaves and that makes them not so aggressive so perhaps they will start to trust you and be your friend.
Also, they hate water, so make sure all the taps in the house are off, and not dripping.
