Certain ants produce a substance called formic acid, the simplest of the organic acids. Since we usually encounter ants outdoors and not in great groups, this odor would likely go unnoticed. But in an enclosed situation, there is no doubt the odor would be quite noticable to humans since it is very noxious.
