Well, it could mean lots of things it could be unhappy, angry, scared or sometimes when it wants food it make a sound, they do it sometimes just because they are happy. If you play with them they will be much happier! If they make a sort of purring noise then they are very happy, like when a cat is purring. If they make a series of low quick squeaks they are speaking to you and quite relaxed. IF, however, they make a loud high pitched squeak then they are frightened, shocked or very uncomfortable and be careful - they might run. The loud high pitched squeak can also mean they are asking for food, whenever my guinea pigs hear the door open they start squeaking for food. Also it depends who's holding it if its somebody whit an unfamiliar scent it will get scared if its still makes those noises and your holding it try holding it more often it will get more calm and relaxed with you. If they start to squeak you should try to take him out every day and get him use to you and other people holing him so tat dose not mean it sick or some thing is wrong.
