What does it mean when the guinea pig makes a strange churtling sound when they're being held?

Guinea pigs have a wide and enchanting range of vocal signals. Most alarm calls are high pitched, such as the "Weep weep" alarm call. At the opposite end of the tonal range they have a low, almost growling sound which is also associated with distress. However, sounds such as purring, wheeking, and churtling are usually signs the guinea pig is happy, content, or hungry!
