But that's Voldemort's voice from the graveyard in GoF, not the 
dementor's voice. I still think dementor's can, in fact, communicate 
with wizards, somehow, as they have to communicate with the MoM for 
their job at Azkaban, and they have to communicate with Dumbledore in 
PoA...

But yeah, that was Moldy Voldy's voice, not the dementor's.
