Questions

Can I use these hyrax sounds in a YouTube video or a paid project?

Yes. Every clip here is CC0, public domain or CC BY, and all of those allow use in monetised videos, podcasts, games, apps and client work, with no fee and no need to ask.

Do I need to give credit for these hyrax sounds?

Only for two of the three clips, the ones marked CC BY 4.0. Put the credit line in your description or end credits, for example "Western Tree Hyrax, Valentin Moser, CC BY 4.0" and "Southern Tree Hyrax, Jono, CC BY 4.0". The other one need no credit.

Do all hyraxs sound the same?

No. Each species has its own calls, which is why this page has three of them: Rock Hyrax, Western Tree Hyrax and Southern Tree Hyrax. If you are trying to name one you heard, start with the species found near you.
