oinks
Noises from swine
Oinks are the characteristic sounds pigs make—short, nasal grunts.
The word appears as both noun and verb: The pig oinks contentedly.
Oinks can describe any similar guttural sounds, or mock someone's piggish behavior: All I heard from him were oinks of approval as he devoured the pizza.
