Such noises ate the movement of air you swallow/carbonation released, and gasses created by gut germs feeding on intestinal debris. As collections of these plus fluid move, they will make noise. By itself it is a normal activity, not a disease. To decrease this, avoid carbonated beverages, take some probiotics & keep a food diary to identify foods that aggravate the issue.
