Squirrels do make a slight chirping sound when bothered, something like
the tch-tch sound one might make while wagging one's finger at a naughty
child. But I witnessed something similar and it wasn't squirrels.

I heard some of the same sounds a couple of nights ago, low in a stand
of trees outside my garage. For a moment, I thought someone's parrot had
escaped, because there were a variety of sounds of a tropical quality,
some with deep clear tones. Just weird sounding. Creeping out of the
garage, I saw what I thought were two crows engaged in some sort of
banter with a couple of other smaller birds nearby. They weren't making
their usual calls ("caw caw"), but were making a lot of other weird noises.
