Guinea Pig Sounds

Domesticated guinea pigs, also known as cavies, are a species of the rodent genus Cavia. Guinea pigs are inherently social creatures and display a diverse set of behavioral expressions throughout their lives. Your relationship with your pet will go a long way toward getting better if you can figure out what their actions mean.

Understanding guinea pigs through the sounds and noises they make is essential because it enables you to determine whether your pet is in danger, hungry, content, or simply excited to see you and/or your food.

Guinea pigs have a variety of sounds that they use to communicate their emotions and needs. The sound a guinea pig makes when it is in need of food is known as wheeking, and the sound of purring is produced when the guinea pig is vocalizing a low, consistent sound. The sound of the growl is similar to "drrr, drrr." Growling is the sound of distress for most animals, and this distress is typically caused by the animal feeling threatened by something nearby. In addition to that, it makes noises like gnashing its teeth, shrieking, whining, and so on.
