Yes, they certainly can, and do. Here in southern New Hampshire, I have an RV that is mouse infested. I don't know what species they are, but I have seen them on occasion, so I know they are mice and not rats. They can be heard scurrying around in the ceiling, accompanied by very distinctive buzzing sounds. Before anyone suggests the buzzing may come from insects, such as wasps - I know what wasp and hornet buzzing and other insects sound like, and it is definitely not any kind of insects. Besides, the buzzing sounds occur even in the dead of winter, whenever the mice are present. And finally, there is no electricity hooked up to the RV, so it is not an electrical short. It is without question a sound the mice make, though I have never heard mice make buzzing sounds in other parts of the country where I have lived and experienced mice (Missouri, Ohio, and Florida).

My house here in NH has been mouse free until yesterday. Last night, my cat brought one of those mice into the house alive, and promptly lost it under the furniture. Tonight, I heard that familiar buzzing sound, and turned to see that mouse just before it dashed back behind the furniture. I can hear it making the buzzing sound now, but can't get to it to catch it, and it is driving me crazy.

The strange part is, I have researched extensively online, trying to get information on mice that make a buzzing sound, and there seems to be no official knowledge of such mice. You can take my word for it though, they do exist!

My take is that it may be a little known species.

I agree with this reply! I have 2 mice in my house this winter, and they have been making this sound often! It's crazy! But it's definitely them! I'm in Southern Wisconsin.

Rats make a sound called chittering or chattering. They rub their teeth together to make this sound. This sound usually means that they are happy.
