General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi It may be sign of pneumonia or stomach regurgitation. You should do lung xrays first to rule out pneumonia and then reconsider doing gastroscopy since some GERD or gastritis may lead to acid reflux during the nigh and it would cause such sounds. You should sleep with elevated upper body and avoid eating 3 hours prior to sleep.
I hope I have answered your question.
Wish you good health. Regards
