Can't understand this small part of code

Hi, could someone please tell me why we say "this.noise" twice in the Animal.prototype.makeNoise function below. Thanks.

function Animal(breed, noise) { this.breed = breed; this.noise = noise; }

Animal.prototype.makeNoise = function() { console.log(this.noise + ", " + this.noise); }

:point_right: It's given twice just to replicate it in the output.

So if the sound is "ribbit", calling makeNoise() will log "ribbit, ribbit".
