Answer
Hi Gwen

The adorable sound (in my opinion) that you describe is called wheeking. Guinea pigs make this noise for two reasons.

1. Because they are happy.
2. Because they sense they might get given food or treats.

Basically, don't worry, the noise is perfectly normal and an indication that your pet(s) is/are perfectly happy and healthy.
