We got Spartacus a pal. (The new guinea pig is actually Spartacus's nephew, and their coloration is almost the same, so when they're all cuddled, which they are a lot, they look like one giant guinea pig.) They have this happy chirping noise they make when they're together, and they make it most of the time. It's driving the teenager crazy, but I like it a lot.

The new pig doesn't have a name yet. So far, she's just calling it "the little one", but I'm pretty sure it won't be little for long. We kind of spoil our pets around here.

They are both squealing "I am Spartacus! I am Spartacus!"

I had a guinea-pig-breeding friend who called that noise "whiffling". I have no idea if that's the technical term, or even if the word exists - for all I know, she made it up - but I always thought it suited that sort of happy little chirping admirably.
