This is an introductory study that aims to observe the intonational behavior of Noke Koin interrogative sentences, a language which display a specific morphological mark to indicate the modality question. Noke Koin belongs to the Páno linguistic family, and is spoken in Brazil, in the interior of the state of Acre. In this paper we will investigate the movement of the interrogative sentences F0 curves and specially the movement displayed on the affix item -ra in order to identify the different contours types it can exhibit. The results obtained show that there are no obligatory contours, although there are more frequent contours; in particular, on the affix -ra, a perceptible movement is observed, preferably in sentences without an interrogative operator.
