Yes!!! they are nocturnal animals.
Mine do the same thing. It's time for them to party!!!!!
They love the music I play for them at night.

Guinea pigs are diurnal, which means they are most active during the day. In fact, they require very little sleep, needing only 4-6 hours of sleep each night.
Here is a good site:

You might try putting her somewhere quieter. I raised Guinea Pigs and never had this problem. Something is probably spooking her.

Perfectly normal. Your guinea pig is a nocturnal animal and nighttime is when he wants to PAR-TAY!
Best wishes and God bless.

They, along with hamsters are night creatures.
They are up at night, and sleep alot during the day.
