Your rat has these noises because he/she has mycoplasmosis. It is an infection in the lungs. All rats are born with it. You should get him/her to a vet. Once your rat is treated the infection will come back in a matter of months so once he starts again, its time for the vets! Sorry!

Pet rats make grunting noises as a form of communication. This can indicate either contentment or annoyance, depending on the context. It is a natural behavior for rats to use vocalizations to express their feelings and interact with their environment.

Hamsters make many noises to indicate differents thing such as a loud screeching noise. This means that the hamster is very scared and freaked out. The best thing to do at this point is to put it away and leave it in a quiet room. Hamsters tend to make clicking noises too. This simply means that they are content and curious.

It's not normal. Watch their breathing. The grunts could be wheezing, or sounds in the lungs, which is a sign of Mycoplasmosis.
