Almond doesn't normally purr, he just wheeks and talks (little gurgling noise as if he's talking to another guinea pig) a lot. But when he hears a coin dropped on, specifically, stone flooring- he purrs loudly. And I mean LOUDLY.

My late guinea pig Hare also purred whenever he heard a coin drop. They have never met so I don't think it's a habit that was carried over from one piggy to another.

What about you, what makes your piggy purr?
 
That is the noise they make when they are scared. Mine do it when I sneeze,the post comes,anybody knocks on the door,I wear dangly earrings,I hiccup.
 
If it is a gggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr noise then it show's they don't like that noise, our girls do it with keys jangling, telephone ringing etc.....
 
It's the same noise that he sometimes makes when I rub his rump instead of his chin. Maybe he's annoyed rather than scared?
 
^which is so annoying because they're bums are so soft and squidgy! :)
 
Yep - my Scruff is also called Professor Purrypants lol! He purrs at the tv, people whistling, music he doesn't approve of, the hoover...
 
music, coins, keys, postman, someone knocking on door, me stroking his beautiful big bum! strangers.
 
Mine are big wimps! They'll do this at anything.

Although they popcorn when I use the hoover.
