In which case rabbits give noise?

Question

My female rabbit gives noise if she is grooming her back. It sounds like her breath gets out because of to small space for air in her lungs. Like a human with a big belly making noise by getting the hands to the feets.

Now I am worried if she has pain, because I heared, rabbits gave no noise, only in big pain.

When do rabbits make noise? Are there reasons not connected with danger or pain?

I have none, but I will do when I have made one. My focus for "long time use" of this question lay more on the "noise without pain" part :) — Allerleirauh, Jul 29 '19 at 12:18
In that case it might be a duplicate of this post https://pets.stackexchange.com/q/2264/13 but the more specific noise you are talking about is not covered there. I am pretty sure I know what the sound is, and that it is not a problem, but a video would help. My rabbit makes sounds like this when grooming. — James Jenkins, Jul 29 '19 at 12:24

I'm not sure what kind of noises you describe but my bunny makes noises when eating sometimes (and when he sees me filling his plate with food) so I guess noises sometimes come from other things and not only pain.

That little noise at the end of the video, my rabbit(s) will make it when grooming. Sometimes it lasts a few seconds. If that is the sound the OP is asking about, I agree it is not a problem. – James Jenkins Aug 02 '19 at 14:34

Yep.... mine is doing it for years. – papakias Aug 02 '19 at 14:53
Thank you for the video. The sound is similar, like air is pressed out. – Allerleirauh Aug 19 '19 at 05:41
