Gut noises

Can someone please explain to me the difference between good and bad gut noises? My piggy often sounds a bit gassy. I know that loud stomach growling is bad, but what about bubbly, digestive noises?

When I search online I see that absence of digestive noises is a sign of bloat... so I'm just trying to figure out the difference between good and bad tummy noises.

I also do not really know how to tell if her gut is "distended". When I tap on her belly from the bottom it does not sound hollow. When I tap from the top it sort of does? She is pooping, eating, drinking, and behaving normally. I lost a piggy to bloat (I think), and I do not want to miss any signs in others. I'm just having trouble understanding.
