Llamas hum for a few different reasons. Humming is a llama's main form of vocal communication. Mother and baby (dam and cria) will hum to each other, mom making sure cria is ok/ location of cria, and cria will answer in kind. Llamas hum when they are worried, anxious, and questioning. If you are with a llama long enough (like weeks or months), you can start to tell which hum means what. A happy llama does not hum, though.

Both llamas and alpacas only have one baby, also called a cria. They are like horses in which that 99.9% of the time they only have one baby, but in rare cases, like horses, they may have twins, but often one or both of the twins dies and possibly the mother. But I have seen here on the internet one set of twins where the mother and the babies all lived and the babies are growing up just fine.
