I am a middle school science and looking towards adding a tortoise as a classroom pet. Getting ready to get a tortoise I have been reading these forums avidly to get as much information as possible. Last night I was doing some reading and read that tortoises can be very sound sensitive. This gave me pause as my kids can be extremely loud. Not sharp sudden noises, but they are loud talkers and squeal sometimes. This is an inner city Title I school so many of these kids have never been around a pet so I think it would be a great experience for them. But I don't want to stress out a tortoise. Are there some types that are more noise tolerant? Or is this just a situation that won't work? TIA
