Recently, my son heard a squirrel sound outside near our yard. He came in and looked up squirrel sounds on YouTube and found this video. He shared it with me and asked me if I had heard squirrels making this sound before.
I said that I had heard the sound before but I had never thought it was squirrels that was making it. I thought it was some kind of bird who made this sound. So, I learned something new.
When you watch the video, the sound seems like the squirrel is mad. He seems perturbed.

Before I learned this, I didn't think squirrels made any noises.

I had never heard that. But the cats keep them chased back from the house.

@LeaPea2417 No, we have several types of possums but they are nothing like your opossums.

I think the one in the video was agitated. I think it saw the person videotaping him and was saying something like, "stay away from me".

@LeaPea2417 Yes! My daughter and I heard the sound before and thought it was a bird as well. I didn't even know that squirrels even make noises. From the video, it seems that they don't really move their mouths. The sound seems to come from their throats. Very interesting

@LeaPea2417 Animals are very interesting creatures. I once wanted to be a veterinarian, but too much school for me. Thx for the video

Maybe this noise is an alarm going out to other squirrels that there is someone nearby.

That squirrel there in the video clip, seemed to be unhappy about something.
