Most people think that rabbits are quiet creatures and make very little
sound. However rabbits make a surprising number of noises - thumps, grunts, snorts, chirps, chuffs, and even the occasional growl. Usually noises like this mean they are excited for some reason.
Chirps and chuffs might mean they are very happy to see you; grunts and growls might mean they are very upset by something, such as a new rabbit being introduced to the cage or you are holding them when they don't want to be. When your rabbit growls, try to determine what is happening to cause it and change it.
It could be related to:
- response to being scared or angry, in which case the rumble often sounds higher and the body vibrates shortly
- dominance within a group if you have more than one guinea pig
- petting in the wrong spots (for instance, on your pet's underside)
Please check the provided link for comparing the sound you refer to to the sound database of the Guinea Pig Manual.
If it is a sort of purring noise, this is what we call "helicoptering". I have a guinea pig and if you stroke it in a certain place, it does this. It basically means its happy.
