Scratching

Most animals of any kind will make scratching sounds in your attic. If you are hearing the sounds at night, the animal is nocturnal, so then it is likely NOT a squirrel. Other things that contribute to the sound besides what animal or its size is the acoustics in the home and the location of the scratching.

Rolling

This could be a rodent with nuts that they are rolling along. Perhaps a squirrel or rat.

Vocalizing

Animals that do not make vocal noises in at attic are squirrels, rats, opossums or mice. If you are hearing screeching, chattering and/or growling that is not one of the aforementioned animals and most likely is a raccoon.

Bumping or Thumping

This type of sound would be caused by a larger animal. That might be an opossum or raccoon that is moving in the attic space pushing, dragging something, chewing being active there.

Pitter Patter

Lastly, you might be hearing pitter patter noises, or shuffling and scratching going up a wall. Lighter sounds vs heavier sounds indicate probably not a raccoon. It is more likely a rat, squirrel, mouse or some other rather small rodent.
