Hi
Chatting piggies are a good sign; it means that they are not afraid. The pitch and intensity of their normal activity chatter tells you whether they are relaxed or apprehensive; you will catch onto their moods fairl.
Young guinea pigs are rarely quiet (unless asleep); it gives their elders an audible update as to where they are and how they are doing. They will start to quieten down more once they get older and then even more as adults.
