Whenever a sound occurs that is so loud that it hurts a guinea pig's ears the guinea pig may act stunned. Along with that, when hearing a very loud noise a guinea pig's ear(s) will twitch or flop up then down. Please note, that attempting to make the animals ear twitch with loud noises is seriously disrespectful to the animal and should never be done on purpose.
Yes. Guinea pigs make all sorts of sounds. Sometimes when you feed them their favorite veggie they will make a sound that sounds alot like a cat purring. Some guinea pigs will also do this when they are being petted. This sound means they are happy. They also make a similar sound with they are displaying to a mate or before they fight. This is called rumblestruting, so make sure you don't get the two confused!

The first people to keep guinea pigs as pets were sailor's. They brought them to Europe from south America. (Which was perhaps confused with Guinea, in Africa). These little animals were called guinea pigs because of the squeaking, pig-like noises they make.MJC
actually, guinea pigs ears are a lot better than human ears, so don't expose them to noises to loud. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- also black guinea pigs have far better hearing than guinea pigs of another color (7 guinea pigs) and most guinea pig dont like high pitch or fast tempo noise...
