    Because the digestive juices in the stomach contain acid, which when present without sufficiant food molecules begin to eat away at our stomach walls, the baroreceptors within the walls of the stomach send a siganl via afferent pathways to the intestine to contract and relax in a quick fashion to produce a hungry feeling so the acid doesnt kill us!

    It is your stomach trying to eat itself.

    When our stomachs are empty there is nothing to absorb the sound of the gastric acids squelching around in there.

    It's basically your stomach trying to digest food that isn't there.
