So I listened online to some sound clips of chins with their meanings and I'm confused and wondering about a sound labeled as "angry". My chin has made that sound several times however it was during him climbing onto my hand..Does that make sense? Does anyone experience this?

Was it this site http://www.soundboard.com/sb/Chinchilla_Sounds ? If so, I think the angry one is actually a loving noise. My boys make similar noises when they are humping things. The keck noises are the angry noises, it's the "quit touching me" sound for sure.

Yes! That's the one!!!!! He wasn't in a bad mood or anything...he was randomly making that noise. I think it's mis-labeled!

On that sound clip site, what is that Whemut sound? My girls have chattered that to each other when trying to share space inside their chin house. I figure it's a "get outta my way, I'm sitting here" kinda of talk.
Yes, OP, the angry is mislabeled, that is their calm "I'm content, I'm happy, I'm here" call. My girls do that too, I ask "are you talking?" And they do that sound some more at me! Haha!
