Its quite hard to answer this without hearing the noise you are referring to as ferrets make several different squeaks, which mean different things.

Dooking is a clucking noise. It is usually accompanied by the ferret running around and jumping about as he / she is very happy or excited

Screeching / screaming is a high pitched noise and is often accompanied by a quick chattering noise. This noise means the ferret is very scared or in pain. Sometimes ferrets will screech during play because they are very excited.

Hissing sounds similar to a cats hiss. It means that the ferret is angry.

Squeaking is one of the few ways a gerbil has to communicate. Squeaks usually occur when something happens the gerbil does not like. For example, when two of them try to use the same wheel. It's like, "Hey! Get off. It's my turn." Sometimes they may squeak when held by humans. It may mean they don't want to be held or that you're hurting them. Sometimes they squeak just because. Older gerbils will begin to squeak as their joints and muscles ache and they get more sensitive to being picked up and held.
