    Absolutely not.
    They don’t have vocal chords or any other means of vocalization.

    Dr. Robert Bayer, a professor of animal and veterinary sciences at the University of Maine, and director of the research organization the Lobster Institute,
    says if there’s any noise at all when the lobster hits the pot, it might be air coming out of its stomach through its mouth parts.

    “But it’s nothing that even resembles a scream,” says Bayer.

    There are cases when boiling lobsters have pressurized air from the boiling process escaping from the joins in their exoskeleton. Not screaming but it is a high pitched sound.
