The digestive system can sometimes be a noisy thing, from the stomach growling when you're hungry to the various noises food and/or gas make as they're being processed and passing through. In media, these sounds are often used to make very clear what's going on with a character. If they're really needing to eat, or are known for having a huge appetite, their hunger can be indicated by loud stomach growling. In comics and animation, this is often accompanied by the belly visibly rippling or shaking. Sometimes this growling is loud enough that other characters can hear it, which can cause embarrassment; it can also lead to the character changing their plans on the fly to get something to eat. It can also [[SoMuchForStealth ruin someone's attempt to hide from someone else]].

Rumbling and/or gurgling can mean that the character is having some indigestion or is a {{Gasshole}}. At worst, deep basso gurgling means major trouble is brewing, which often leads to a PottyEmergency or even PottyFailure in severe cases.
