Thank you! Yes I do remember reading this, but for me, the music actually calms down my pigs, they don't seem annoyed, they'll lie down and go to bed, or relax against me and rumble/purr? The intensity depends on if they really like a song, or I find a new song they like. I was curious if maybe anyone else had experienced this!
Hi, it is lovely if your piggies can relax to music with you but from your description and having listened to the Donkey Kong song, sadly I doubt this is what's happening. Rumbling in response to sound is a warning contact call to other piggies that there is a possible danger. Other pigs will often reply and stay very still until the perceived danger passes or if they become more spooked they may run away or seek cover in a hidey. It is not that they are annoyed by the music, more that they are worried by it. The Donkey Kong track contains a lot sounds that sound like bells or a tambourine rattle. These types of jingling sounds are well known to alarm piggies.
