Actually, "y" is absolutely a vowel in words like "why" and "by". It's the only letter that can be alternatively used as a vowel or consonant, but when there is no other vowels it is as much a full vowel as "a" or "o".
I always like "pfft", but none of those are words.

There aren't any. Phonetically...all true English words have a vowel.
I know this isn't what you mean, you mean the VOWEL LETTERS: "a, e, i, o, u" which aren't actually vowels but letters representing vowels (of which there are over a dozen in English alone).
Some of those words without letters which usually represent vowels:
try
sky
why
cry
my
shy
sty
Although "y" should be considered a vowel letter as well, it usually isn't.
SOUNDS like shhh, hmm, tsk, mm-hmm, are the closest you can come to a word without vowels, although I would not call these words.
