Piggy language is often contextual. So a wheeking sound can be used for both excitement (food is on the way) or as a fear reaction (when you start trying to clip nails in my house). It confused me for a while. Also different people use different names for the sounds.
However, here is a link to a useful site. The lady who created it recorded her piggies’ vocalisations and it is a good starting point. But turn your speakers up to hear. Guinea Pig Sounds

I agree with @VickiA - that’s a helpful site.
Otherwise you will become familiar with their sounds.
For example a rustling bag will set all 3 of mine squeaking loudly. In that context it clearly means “FOOD” not fear.

We do not have an audio guide because communication includes sound, body language, scent (pheromones) and situational context, and is much more complex than you'd expect. The link that @VickiA has given you is one of the better ones; there are lots around with very wrong interpretations!

Some of the sounds for dislike, happiness and dominance are very similar for the inexperienced; you have take body language and situational context into account to tell them apart. Generally, the louder and intense any vocalisation, the more excited/nervous guinea pigs are. Youngsters from around 4 weeks to 6 months are the loudest and most vocal because they are the most vulnerable at this age.

Here is a link that explains social interactive behaviours and body language: Bonding: Illustrated Dominance Behaviours And Dynamics
