Bunny making weird noises... is he sick?

Okay, i'm a new mommy and i've posted a few things on here. but lately i've notice that bun (whos a year old lop male) has been making these "oink" noises. it happens when hes jumping, sitting, walking, anything, it's not constant, but i hear it most of the time. he's not opening his mouth, so it's like internal or something?! i dunno, i have posted about him snacking on a terry cloth towel - but i had to steal it from him since he was eating it. could that be it? or is he sick? is my bun okay? any ideas? has anyone had this problem before, he sounds like a little pig going oink oink in a low tone. weird?! i know! HELP ME!

I assume he is not neutered?
Sounds like he is making the noise entire Bucks make when feeling 'frisky' !!
 
Sounds exactly like the noise my Kemit makes.....he makes it loads, when he is grumpy, feeling excited, eating, walking and so on.
Basically anything other than sleeping and he has been known to 'grunt', so its perfectly normal (but i was a bit freaked out the first time i heard him doing it!!!)
