Anyone else find certain noises your guinea pigs are scared of? My guinea pigs arent too fond of sudden loud noises or hoovers, but they're usually fine around noises like that, but they have REALLY strong opinions abt my music taste, i dont even play my music loud but certain music that has rhythms or beats that resemble bells they hate so much, and they make little vibrating sounds till i change the song, theyre fine around loud noises but its just music, i have a ukulele and if i play even one note they'll hate that too. I find it funny tbh
 
My boys are in front room and they don't like it if we put music on so we try not to which is hard when yiu have kiddies who ask alexa to put music on ect like crazy frog lol, but thier okay with the TV x
 
The vacuum is the scariest thing in our house, nobody likes it. Hector and Kiki live in the lounge and are totally unfazed by the tv but hate any music played on sound system or Alexa (which is in the kitchen)no matter how quiet it’s played. I think it must be the wave length not the actual volume they don’t like
 
We've only had our girls for 10 days so they're still easily startled by noise and sudden movements but they seem to like the hoover, they sit watching me as I hoover up 😂

I'm not sure if my pigs are completely sane but they start zooming whenever I vacuum:blink:
 
My piggies don’t mind the hoover which is good as I have to hoover their room on a daily basis. They don’t like it when my OH sneezes and will rumble if he sneezes while they’re out
 
I get unhappy noises when I catch an arm or something on their door handle. Not out of sympathy for me, they don't like the noise of the door handle itself.
 
Jingle of keys my 9 hate keys lol hoover is no problem, music and films with shouting and gun shots no problem 😉
 
None of mine have liked the vacuum, obviously! Big loud scary monster!

One of my pigs used to purr at the noise that my landline phone would make when you dialed it. It made a beep with each number and she would purr at each one.

Tomie hates people coughing and sneezing. She likes her humans quiet and predictable. One week last fall four out of five humans had the flu and it was a very stressful couple of week for Tomie!

All the shouting and screaming of teenage boys - totally fine.

The fsssh sound of a email sending? Total terror.

The angry rumbles I'd get from Blitzen if pop music was playing were genuinely hilarious. He rarely wheeked and made up for it with the rumbling, but if I was playing rock music? Silence. He had good taste.
 
Ours are fine with the hoover. They are ok with most music - they prefer jazz, if they're given a choice.

They dislike the "brrrooooo-pop!" noise that the Roku YouTube app makes when starting up, they're not big fans of the click-click-click noises most catch-up apps make while you're typing in the search box, and they HATE the clicky-poppy noise the STV (Scottish TV station) app makes when it starts, to the extent that we now mute the TV while starting the app!

They also sometimes complain if you say "piggy pig pig!" - I think it sounds like rumbling to them. If they are grumpy, they will also complain about Pig Daddy saying anything at all, I think his voice is too deep for their preference.

They do sometimes object when I sneeze, but as they're the ones causing it, I feel they can just suck it up!
