Answer

The first is better. However, you could just say, "Can you guess what animal makes this sound?"

Answer

You would use the first sentence, but "make" should be "makes," since "animal" is singular. It would be better to omit "it is that" altogether and just say "Can you guess which animal makes this sound?"
