If we're going by the standard pronunciation for those two words, then no.

However, the distinction between them has been lost in some English accents.

Basically the aw in hawk uses a lower tongue position than the o in sock in "proper" English accents

Southern US and other dialects ignore that distinction, like with cot and caught ("cot-caught merger" being the official terminology)

Depends on the accent.

For example, here it wouldn't. Liverpool it might.

The aw in hawk makes the awww sound.

The o in sock makes the same sound as other ock words. So kind of an ahh sound, like when the dentist says "say ahh". Or something <_<

Sock with the "ock" part pronounced like clock, and glock etc doesn't sound like hawk when I say it. "awk" is pronounced more like "or" words, like port, snort and caught

They rhyme to me and after reading all the posts in this topic thus far I still dont fully understand what the other pronunciation(s) are that would make them not rhyme. Ive never heard of an alternative pronunciation of either.

Guess it does sound kind of similar in "American" over English.

The vowel sound in hawk is made slightly further back in the mouth, but I'm not sure if that constitutes a different pronunciation.
