Their noises can be a bit confusing at first, but you'll get to know what they mean. When you listen to the sound clips the burr noise is listed as both a purr and a rumble. My pig Ethel will burr when you scratch her rump sometimes and at first I thought it was a purr, but have come to learn that it's a rumble and she doesn't like it. Sometimes you can pet her there, sometimes you can't.

For the most part when you're holding your pigs and petting them they will make a noise that I call a chirp. That's a happy noise. My Lucy has a quiet voice and is the quiestest of the three girls but you can still hear her chirping when you pet her. I had to laugh about RainKindle's ADD girl because this is my Lucy. Lola is LOUD! All the time time. She's a big baby and will squeal at her roommates a lot. They gave her a bit of a fright when she was first introduced and she still squeals at them. She also squeals when you pick her up, but then she chirps away loudly and runs up the crook of my neck. She is also my only wheeker. When it's food time she will make a high pitched squeak. That usually means they're yelling at you for their dinner.

It takes some time and their noises and body language will change after some time and they get used to you. You'll learn what they like and don't like. My Ethel is also a head butter. If they push against you they want you to stop what you're doing. You'll probably notice that they do this when you block all or part of their line of vision. I can pet Ethel on the nose and head, but if my hand gets in her line of sight, that's when she pushes up against my hand.
