While they’re usually silent, skunks do have the ability to produce a range of sounds, like:

• Squeal
• Hiss
• Screech
• Whimper
• Grump
• Smack their lips
• Stomp their feet

What do skunk noises mean?

 These noises are used to communicate fear, pain, and contentedness, or to intimidate predators.

Skunks make snuffling sounds when they’re actively searching for food and scratching or rustling noises when burrowing.
