Why is my guinea pig extremely vocal?

Please help me lool I rescued a guinea pig from a rescue who was very underweight and ill.. and he would just sit in the corner so depressed. So I got him a friend, a baby guinea pig from a rescue and he has perked up so much and so happy now. But the thing is he is SOOOO vocal. Every time i come up the stairs he whistles.. and he is in my room lol when I come in he runs straight to me and whistles. When I am in my room on my computer and just move a little bit he whistles! He is such a cute old boy but is there anyway of stopping him from whistling so much? I give him lots of fresh hay and veg but that only stops him from whistling for a while. He is in a MASSIVE indoor cage. What do you think is causing this obsessive whistling? Maybe that's why his other owner gave him up? But of course I will never ever give up this sweet boy.. he will be with me forever <3

Guinea pigs can be fairly noisy animals. He just seems like a particularly loud one. There isn't really anything you can do to make him stop, nor should you try.

Guinea Pigs are very vocal and social animals.

It's completely normal and just his way of saying he's happy.
