It's a fairly high pitched yap which carries for some distance. Opinion seems to be divided as to why they do it.
One school of thought says they do it for no apparent reason but it is sometimes suggested they are seeking a mate.

Incidentally, the Muntjac pictured is quite big for the species and I'd say that it was about the height of a large Airedale Terrier.
Very often they are fairly unremarkable and don't draw attention to themselves.
