Hi!

Can you please take a video or audio and upload on a public setting elswhere, so you can link it into your thread. Our forum is run on voluntary members donations and does not have a video upload option, which exceeds our budget.

Boars make a number of weird sounds, so I can only guess that you mean rumble-strutting, a rumbling noise while shifting the weight from one back leg to the other. That is a mild dominance behaviour and the way boars measure up against each other.

More sounds with a sound interpretation can be found via this link here. Please be aware that guinea pig interaction is very complex and that any noised need to be interpreted in the context with body language, smell and situational context.
