No. Rabbits are silent until they're frightened. Then they scream, much like a cat or a new-born baby. Weird, but true.

Rabbits only make a squeeking, or shrieking noise when they are hurt. They also grind their teeth. They thump their feet to sound warnings. Rabbits are not rodents, and are in no way related to mice.

Rabbits can honk and grunt, but they don't squeak like mice. (It's not as high pitched as a squeak.)
They will scream if they are frightened enough, but hearing a bunny scream is rare.
Other than that and thumping, they're normally quiet.
Here are a couple of links about bunny-talk:

when a rabbit makes noise other than grinding teeth it usually means that it's in pain if it squeals and grunts if it's mad. google house rabbit society. everything you need to know about rabbits is there. if your rabbit is squealing take him to the vet immediately. better safe than sorry.

Rabbits thump with their hind legs when upset. When cornered, He hops in place with his front legs and snorts to let you know to back off. Other than that, I havent ever heard him make a sound.

yes, you would be surprised at how loud they can be. They also use foot stomping to make sounds.
I suppose the best way to describe the sound is to say the scream. it is not a very pleasant sound and i have only heard it when they are in distress.
