So I've googled piggy sounds and watch lots of videos to try get an idea of happy or stressed sounds. Everytime I jingle my keys she makes short purr like outbursts. In fact it's one of the few sounds I've ever heard her make. Is it a bad one? I've tried to upload a video but it keeps saying the file is too large! Do piggies not like keys in general? Haha this sounds like such a stupid question but I don't want to be irritating her ears
 
2 of my piggies HATE the sound of keys and will also make an unhappy purr, poor girls :)) My other 3 don't seem bothered though. These 2 are sisters so perhaps they were spooked by them before they came to me.

I've heard a lot of people who say their piggies don't like keys so it's not too uncommon :)
 
my piggies HATE the sound of keys, especially when my neighbour uses them for opening his door; then they hate harpsicord...:))
 
Yes agree with above, my boys are chilled about most noises as we have a busy family home but hate the jangling of keys. The drrrr or brrrr in this case is a warning / not happy sound
 
Mine make that sound at, keys, music, door knocker, sneezes, farts, the phone in fact they don't like much really. They do get ecited at noises they associate with food though. :))

I think I've heard her make a happy noise once. After I washed her cage and then she was jumping around it, rubbing her butt everywhere and chirping. Other than that she's fairly silent! Or angry at keys haha
 
My pigs will rumble at a lot of random noises (phone buttons being pushed, the phone ringing, people sneezing, etc.) Apparently a lot of pigs do not appreciate weird noises!
