When my Yorkie was very young - 8 to 12 weeks, he played that way with everything. He would growl, snarl, whimper, bark, and make all sorts of noises with his toys. I thought it was fascinating and wondered where all those sounds came from. It was really as though he was practicing making different sorts of noises. (Yorkies are very vocal - you know). But, anyway, he has outgrown a lot of this. He plays just as hard, but guess he has decided that a lot of the noises he was practicing - just aren't necessary.
He is a total terror (at 6 months and 6 1/2 pounds) to my 21-pound Bichon. He literally wears him out. Thank God I have a gentle Bichon. He just puts up with it.
If your pup isn't being aggressive or biting - maybe you don't have to worry about all the noises he makes. He may just be discovering his "voice." He'll settle down.
