Any loud sounds like a child screaming or crying a car in the garage or a big bang from droping some thing these sounds will scare you guinea pig and might even give them a heart attack, but most guinea pigs get use to the sounds and they dont freak out as much

There is what's called "wheeking", which is a happy one but mainly when they are trying to get you're attention and want food - also a sign of excitement.

There is the purr, which has two meanings: happy/contentment, you may hear this when you stroke or cuddle the Guinea Pig. The purr makes them vibrate as well. However, they also make this sound when they hear something they don't like, mainly high pitched sounds like a bell or clap - anything shrill.

There is another type of purring which is longer and comes with a wriggly sort of Dana - that's mainly from boys when they can smell a female or sometimes try to mount another boy. This is normal behaviour. When a female behaves like this, they are in season and only lasts about 12-16 hours.

Another sound they make is a more distressed one, almost like a yelp accompanied with a screeching sound. This is when another pig is upsetting them by, for example, invading their personal space. It's just the pig shouting at the other.

Another one my lot do is a whining/whinging sound, which means the same as the previous one above.

They can make so many different sounds, but I've pointed out the usual/common ones. It's funny how you actually can sense what they're sounds mean naturally. You will know by the tone of each one.
