depends how you define vowel.
if you use the general definitions where a vowel is a letter sound with unrestricted airflow, as opposed to a consonant where you use your tongue and lips to restrict the airflow, then I can't think of any such words in English. maybe there are some languages that have "clicking" sounds or other noises as words which might be transliterated to english without the typical vowel letters of english. there are some languages like ancient hebrew which was written without any vowels at all (eventually vowel letters were added to the language).

PSST--A hissing sound designed to attract the attention of someone covertly. This word is described as being an onomatopoeia

CRWTH--- (pronounced [krʊθ] or [kruːθ]) is an instrument which originated in Wales, about 2000 years ago; the end of its popularity began in the mid-1800s. Crwths were originally developed from the lyre. In the early 14th century, it was given a fingerboard. Advanced crwth players could play about 24 songs.

PWN--The verb "to pwn" is a leet translation of "to own" (in the meaning "to dominate"). Some of its extended forms are also vowelless, for example the past tense version "pwn'd". Similarly, "to phwn" is a more rarely used leet verb, meaning "to dominate somebody using a phone". Its short past-tense form is also vowelless: phwn'd.

Actually, y and w are sometimes vowels. That's why they are called semi-vowels.

You could argue that in words like try or rhythmn the y is actually a vowel and thus there are no English words without vowels.

I don't believe there is any word which contains no vowels. There is a word "cwm" which appears to have no vowels. Actual, "w" can sometimes be used as a vowel, just like "y" but less frequent.

cwm - (pronounced koom) - it's a kind of hill. It's a word that pwns when playing Scrabble...

Oh yeah, pwn doesn't have any vowels either.
