during the breeding season the pine marten makes a range of noises to indicate various levels of interest in mating. the male will make chattering noises, or mew like a kitten to attract the attention of the female. mating is also accompanied by shrieks and wails from both male and female, which is thought to be tied up with inducing ovulation.

outside the breeding season though they're pretty quiet and communicate mainly by scent (they're solitary animals which live in well protected territories, so being vocal would serve little purpose until they're in close contact during the breeding season).

hope that answers your question
