My Coronet Guinea pig, S h a g g y, makes this rumble or purring noise when I tap on the desk or sometimes when I play industrial music or native drums.

Does this mean he's enjoying the sounds, or just trying to talk to me?

Do anyone else's piggies do this?
 
My fudge does this all the time!
I take it as though he is irritated by the noise, as if he is is voicing his annoyance and he's saying "will you shut up"
I think its quite funny to listen to. he does it from rattling keys, and things like that :)
 
If it is a short, rough rumble, then it is a sound of displeasure. You hear it often from piggies startled by sharp sounds.
 
My pigs make the rumble noise when my OH speaks! Needless to say they don't get along.
 
I always thought it was either because they were unsure of a new noise or they were nervous
 
So does this mean my piggie doesn't like the industrial music?

I thought he was enjoying my music. Oh well.
 
Low volume background noise like a radio tends to make them feel safe but our girls don't like any loud or sudden noises. They'll tend to burr, freeze and/or bolt.
