Hi guys so I'm attaching the video of Belle and her mystery noise. I've taken her to the vets previously after she was making this noise who listened to her chest and found nothing wrong however I'd just like to double check this is definitely weird gobbling sounds and not signs of URI. No other signs of illness.

I also suggest that you turn up the sound since it's very quiet.

 
My piggy makes a noise like that too I wouldn't be too alarmed as my vet visit turned up clear and he's still okay nearly 5 months after. Usually with a URI the piggy goes downhill pretty quickly and there is usually sneezing,discharge from eyes or nose,crustiness and lethargy. Again if you are still uneasy then try another vet but I think Belle is fine :)
 
I have a piggy with this problem at the moment. There is no sign of a URI and her heart and lungs sound fine. I think the sound is coming from her throat area, so it may be that some food is stuck, not enough to choke, but enough to cause this sound. I would keep an eye (and ear) out to see if it develops into anything.
 
my pig randomly started making noises like this one day, usually when he's eating, my vet couldn't find anything wrong with him, and he's had no problems since, and only makes the noise occasionally...strange
