Hi
The sounds you hear are called borborgymi and are usually normal.
The stomach and intestines keep moving. They try to keep the contents mobile.
When you are hungry, or just had a meal, the intestines move, first in anticipation of food and then to make the contents actually move.
So these are normal activities and the sounds need not cause any alarm.
Best of luck
