So, as we all know that animals communicate with each other by making various sounds. But, animals also communicate with each other by many other methods to express their feelings and emotions and also to keep in touch with their group.
Let's start with the most common & (in)famous lamp-post act by our canines! Many creatures urinate on the tree or on the bushes. Cats, dogs, rhinos, pandas etc. communicate by Scent Marking method to protect their territory or to call someone.
Infra sound communication with a low frequency range can be heard over long distances. This type of communication is found in elephants when they emit a noise of low frequency range which can be heard over miles. Other animals which communicate by this method are whales, rhinoceroses, hippopotami, giraffes and surprisingly also some reptiles like alligators.

Scratch marking method is mostly found in animals like cats, bears etc. It is also used in the same way as scent marking i.e. to communicate with other members of the group.

Good post Abhi. What about Dolphins and sea creatures, I heard they have developed excellent communication methods, would be interesting to read a part 2 of 'Hello Hello'.
