So I checked out that super cool sound database sticky listening for this particular sound one, I think its just the one, chinchilla makes.

Can't find it, its very strange and she seems to only make it when she's sleeping, like she's having a bad dream and she makes not quite a scream or a bark but 3 funny squeeky chirpy grunts followed by a grunt.

It sounds almost like trying to blow up a ballon with a whistle its very strange I thought something was wrong when I first heard it but she was sleeping.

I'll have to see if I can record it but it dosen't happen often and it seems to be happining less, maybe she's feeling safe which would be nice.

From what you are describing, it sounds like a bark but obviously if you know what a bark sounds like then you'd be able to tell if it was one or not. Try to record it, because I have no clue what it could be!
 
I would guess its more towards the warning call they make. Its the only one iv ever heard from my chins while they are asleep. (Expecaly from my younger females)

Tho i have noticed that mine will also make that noise if they are trying to tell us to 'keep it down!! Where trying to sleep here!!'
