It is normally the sound of raccoons fighting. There are a couple other sounds like "chittering" that you can use to get their interest. The "squall" sound is partly a distress call that gets them to peek their head out of the hole so you can "light" them with a spotlight.
They will get aggressive when they hear a call that is for certain. In my own backyard I've had them run towards me. I can't use the raccoon calls at night in TN since they are illegal, but they can be used for day hunting of raccoons. I just blew on mine after I scared some off and the RAN back to me! I didn't have a gun and I was grateful the gate was closed on the fence.

Thanks, it sounds like raccoons don't like walking away from a fight
Wow, after you scared them, they came running back when you used the call? That is one effective call! What kind to you have again?
