purring or growling

I thought my piggy was Purring and then the other night he was doing it alot and they were chasing eachother around. It was the day before we cleaned their cage so I am wondering if they were annoyed with each other. So I beg the question do piggies Purr or Growl? I know there is a site to hear different sounds but my home computer is broke and I dont have speakers at work. I'll have to wait to listen to the sounds.
Any ideas? Thanks

Re: purring or growling

A purr typically have a lower pitch, meaning contentment. A burr typically have a higher pitch, meaning annoyance, or worry.

Re: purring or growling

It's not exaclty louder, burrs are more higher sounding, and purrs are more lower sounding, just to clairifly that. No problem, ask anytime!
