Growling sounds coming from throat

I am having these continual wierd kind of growling sounds coming from my throat but they are originating from my stomach and I"M concerned that it is related to my having increased acid reflux lately. My gastroenterologist says it's air, but I still don't understand that.. we have setup an endoscopy to be done Feb 12th, but I still don't understand this.  Can you please help me?
Thanks

I have the same problem. See I'm 14 and call it neck growling. You know makes sense. I've been looking **** up online for my problems. See I burped and I never burp so I looked up disorder where you hardly burp and thus led to this. See I never burp, snore, and my stomach never growls. I hardly sneeze. I cough a lot though, as well as fart. I don't drink during the day. I usually only drink in the morning and at night. I hardly use the restroom during the day. But my need to pee has gotten stronger thankfully. I don't get brain freezes I get something I call heart freezes, where it like freezes my chest. A and if I eat something that's hot or I don't chew it properly, my heart will hurt and burn, which I'm assuming is heartburn. I only ever do bodily functions at home unless I really got to pee. My mom says that my excessive farting is because of my morning medicine for my ADHD. It is called focalin xr I don't know how many milligrams. But I can't swallow pills. I just was able to swallow ibuprofen recently and my night medicine clondine melts to fast and actually tastes good. Anyway,  focalin xr is a capsule with little white beads in it and I open it up in my mouth and drink down the beads with something that's not water. And it affects my appetite and apparently my flatulence. But my appetite is everywhere and my metabolism is fast. Well, when I searched up the neck growling the first thing that came up was a thing about bodily noises and apparently it acid reflux or something idk.

This is a definite sign of gastric reflux and indigestion.  I'd try an over the counter acid tablet like Pepcid or Tagamet and if it continues for longer than a week or so and you can't trace it to things like eating specific foods (highly acidic foods like spaghetti sauce or carbonated beverages like pop/soda)---  talk to your doctor about gerd.  good luck

I have the same problem. Mine is a strange girgling sound (almost like a frog) and it only seems to do this after I drink something. It will usually lasts for a couple of hours as well. What is REALLY strange is that when I lay down on my back or on my right side it goes away. When I lay on my left side it continues and seems the worst. It feels like I have a drip in my throat that builds up so I do a lot of throat clearing. Immediately after swallowing I can feel an air pocket and then the sound will trigger. I read another post of someone with the same problem. They mentioned that they never burped growing up, and neither did I. This is not painful but the sounds can be loud which may disturb my girlfriend. It's a little embarrassing.
