to what extent could you make noise if you had no tongue? would you be able to do more than grunt? does it depend on how much has been removed when trying to determine what noises you could and could not make?

The vocal cords, located in the larynx (throat), are the sources of the sound. The tongue helps with articulation and modifying the sounds coming from the larynx. I don't feel like a scream involves that much tongue movement, so I'd think that it would sound pretty much the same with and without the tongue. Talking on the other hand may be much more difficult. Try to imagine people after going to the dentist whose tongues are numbed up.
