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, in two distinct ways. 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 ruin someone's attempt to hide from someone else. On the other hand, if the character has eaten, rumbling and/or gurgling can mean that they're having some indigestion or are just a Gasshole. At worst, deep basso gurgling means major trouble is brewing, which often leads to a Potty Emergency or even Potty Failure in severe cases. The medical term for this is the amusingly onomatopoeic word 'Borborygmus', though often it's simplified to just 'Stomach rumble'. Note: This is often Truth in Television, but No Real Life Examples, Please!, otherwise we would be here all year. |

In The Dandy: It happens to the Geordies who are watching the jocks eat a typical Scottish dinner which they refuse to eat though Egbert was the only one who claimed his tummy was rumbling. When hungry enough, Desperate Dan's stomach can produce growls strong enough to generate Shockwave powerful enough to destroy houses. |

Germaine's gut noises are the punchline of the Neurotically Yours short Thrift Store, where her stomach unleashes a huge, monstrous growl that scares Foamy and a bunch of customers out of the titular store, due to them mistaking it for the roar of her scorned boobs. | |

Anna works up an appetite while hiking in one of the stories in the Frozen (2013) comic book Frozen Adventures, Snowy Stories and mentions being hungry. When Olaf asks what hunger feels like, she explains it as feeling weak while your stomach grumbles, just in time for her tummy to growl as a demonstration. | |
