How ferrets hear?

No..... but their owners do with their laughing and snickering at their fuzzies' antics!!

Seriously, ferrets make a "dooking" noise that sounds like they are chuckling or clucking during play when they are excited and having fun.

When they are in pain or very scared, I have read that they will screech (I personally haven't heard this one).

Then there is the "hiss" - kind off a cross between a "heehee" and chattering - a warning that comes from a very annoyed or pissed off ferret - in other Words, leave this critter ALONE if you hear this because a mad ferret could bite .... hard. Mama ferrets will hiss at kits to discipline them.
