Why does your stomach growl when you're hungry?

Yet hunger really has nothing to do with an empty stomach but, instead, is a product of certain nutrients missing in the blood.\n\nIt happens when your stomach walls squeeze together in an attempt to mix and digest food and there's no food there. Gases and digestive juices slosh around in your empty stomach.  Its called Borborygmi\n\n Furthermore, growling doesn't only come from the stomach but, just as often, can be heard coming from the small intestines. Growling is more commonly associated with hunger because it is typically louder when the stomach and intestines are empty and so the organs' contents don't muffle the noise.

eat slower. burps are caused by excess air in the stomach that needs to be expelled. when people eat faster, they swallow more air than if they slow down a bit

There are several factors in your gastrointestinal system that make it do those noises.\nFirst, it is in constant movement due that it has its own nervous system which keeps it in movement so that all the nutrients can go through the system and can be absorbed at different points of your intestines; and there are a lot of hormones that help with this movement too, but they are activated in a more cyclic pattern according to when you had your last meal.\nInside the gastrointestinal system there are a lot of things that make funny noises when they are moved, all the food is in liquid form because the stomach used its acid and its movements to disolve and crush everything you ate, and in your small and large intestines there are billions of bacteria that produce gas; when you move liquids they make noise and if you mix gas and liquids you get bubbles that when pop make noise too.\nSo in conclusion the noise comes from the constant moving of the contents of your gastrointestinal system led by the nervous and endocrine system.

You stomach is constatly churning to process food. When it is empty (i.e. hunger) it still churns but there is no food and you hear an echo, of sorts.

Probably because you've already filled one need, hunger, and you're feeling rather satisfied.  Also, it takes energy to digest.  When you're having sex and are hungry...you're ready for that matter at hand and you're putting all your energy into it.  At least that's my hypothesis.

a hiccup is caused by a spasm of the diaphragm. The diaphragm is the main muscle involved in breathing and the quick entry of air during a hiccup produces a sound as it passed through the pharynx.\n\nIt has nothing to do with the stomach

Also note that after you eat, you generally feel cold because most of your body's blood is diverted to your stomach to aid in digestion.

your stomach acid constantly moves and is breaking down things you have eaten. but if you dont have anything to break down then the acid is splashing around making noise since nothing is blocking the movement.  it also has to do with the gasses. they also help break down things and when stuff is in the way they dont break the surface. but if your stomach is empty it breaks the surface of your stomach acid

When you hiccup, your diaphragm involuntarily contracts. (The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdomen. It plays an extremely important role in breathing.)\n\nThis contraction of the diaphragm then causes an immediate and brief closure of the vocal cords, which produces the characteristic sound of a hiccup. What actually causes the hiccup is difficult to say - in most instances, there is no obvious cause.\n\nAttacks of the hiccups seem to be associated with a few different things: eating or drinking too fast; being nervous or excited; or having irritation in the stomach and/or throat.\n\nIn some extremely rare cases, the underlying cause of hiccups can be pleurisy (inflammation of the membrane lining of the lungs and chest cavity), pneumonia, certain disorders of the stomach or esophagus, pancreatitis, alcoholism, or hepatitis. Any one of these conditions can cause irritation of the diaphragm or of the phrenic nerves that supply the diaphragm - it's the irritation that causes the hiccups.\n\nStill, the cause of most attacks of the hiccups remains a mystery.

Blood.  When you eat blood moves from other areas of your body including your head to go to the stomach to aid in the digestion of your food, you may also spike your blood sugar thus causing drowsiness in some people.  It's good to go for a short walk after eating to get your metabolism up and aid in the digestion process as well.  Don't plop in a chair and let those calories stew inside of you.
