Hi ive noticed you say WHAT CAUSES this. Not what is it?
But yes its purring and this is why they do it.
Purring is part of every cat's repertoire of social communication, apparently created by the movement of air in spasms through contractions of the diaphragm. Interestingly, purring is sometimes heard in cats who are severely ill or anxious, perhaps as a self-comforting vocalization. But, more typically, it is a sign of contentment, first heard in kittens as they suckle milk from their mother.
In adults, purring is heard in domesticated cats when they are petted, and in feral cats during sexual or other social contexts. Like submissive posturing among dogs, purring may be a signal of appeasement to other cats or to people, a way to communicate that the purring cat need not be threatened.
As with many behaviors in dogs and cats, the original presumed purpose of the behavior may not be directly relevant in a pet home. But we do believe that, when our healthy pet cats purr, they are happy and at peace.

It sounds like your kitten is purring. This means he/she is extremely content and loves you.

its probably wind , and nothing to worry about .
if they eat different foods this can sometimes cause this .
also if hungry and gulp their food , i have 6 month kitten called sir Lancelot . he eats like a pig and burps after every meal . if you see any other effects take your kitten to the vets but it will probably go in a while .

It is Purring
cats and kittens purr when they want you to carry on so if you are stroking it , it will purr so you carry on stroking it

Your kitten is happy so it purrs. It is nothing to worry about.
