Guinea Pig makes various sounds, what do they mean?
My guinea pig makes various squealing sounds and similiar sounds. I know some of the sounds mean that he feels threatened because the cat is near his cage. But he still makes them even when there are no potential threats around. I'm just wondering what all the different sounds mean?

some sounds:
WHEEK-a loud noise essentially onomatopoeic,also known as WHISTLE.an expression of general excitement ,it mar occur in response to the presence of its owner or to feeding.it is sometimes used to find other guinea pigs if they are running.if a guinea pig is lost ,it may wheek for assistance.
BUBBLING OR PURRING-this sound is made when the guinea pig is is enjoying it self,such as when petted or held.they may also make this sound when grooming crawling around to investigate a new place,or when given food.
