stomach growling
Audible digestive protest
Stomach growling is the rumbling sound produced when gas and fluids move through the intestines, often associated with hunger but occurring during digestion too.
The technical term is borborygmus.
My stomach growling during the meeting was embarrassing.
The sound can be loud enough for others to hear, typically prompting awkward acknowledgment.
