All of my girls rumble at music. It's not purring, it's short and low. If an advert comes on the Tv or music comes on the radio, they will stop squeaking and rumble at it.
It's so weird.
I always say, "You can't rumble at music," But they do it anyway.
 
We will probably never know whether she enjoys the music you play, but piggies are frightened by loud, surprising sounds.
From your post, I believe that she is exhibiting excitement.
Squeaking is associated with happiness, but the rumbling (a dominant behavior) may be due to fear. Does she squeak at some voices and rumble at others? My piglets refuse to listen to male singers and prefer female pop songs. :doh: :gp::lol!:

It's just music that comes with the advert. I don't play music in the house, it's mostly with whatever is on tv. There is classical music on near their hutch sometimes, but never heard them rumble at it.
None of my other pigs have done this.
