Sometimes my chinchilla (Foofy) makes noises like hes hacking up something.. kinda like a screechy noise... is it just a hair ball or something? Or is he sick?
Also he lets me pet him... Does you chinchilla let you pet him? He's so cute! And the best thing is that we are both nocturnal :)
Heres a pic of him....

I have 3 chinchillas and the noise you are hearing is quite normal.
Its sounds like their warning call - which is nothing to worry about - a chinchillas' hearing is far better than ours and they can hear things that you cant.
As said it sounds perfectly normal
take a look at www.chinchillas-unlimited.co.uk
they have some very experienced chinchilla owners and are always there for friendly advice
Many chinchillas will let you pet them, they love tickles

That is because he is happy and noises like that usually come when they are at play, they love attention and the more time you spend with them prevent them from being bored they are very curious creatures so you have to make sure to supervise them when out of their cage so they do not get into trouble ..
