Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The abdominal sounds you hear are most likely related to the movement of food, liquids, digestive juices, and air through your intestines.

When your intestines process food, your abdomen may grumble or growl. Hunger can also cause abdominal sounds. So I think it is as normal as it can be.

Hope my answer was helpful.
Kind regards!
