I think he tries to communicate to me sometimes??? I don't know. He does the same thing when I rub his head and then stop. It is like he is working himself up to vocalize then pop out comes this "sound".

Yorkies are notorious for being very vocal animals. They like to bark when they are having fun as well as for a variety of other reasons. My little girl does try to "talk" by making a number of different noises in her throat. I have learned how to recognize what she is trying to let me know.
Sometimes I think she gets upset with me for being so slow about noticing that she is telling me something.

You will love him!Yorkies are special! They need lots of love and attention. A friends once told me yorkies are the definition of lap dog and if I wasn't ok with that not to get one. They love to play as much as they love to cuddle. Our little "princess" is pretty high maintenance. We keep her hair short so we don't brush daily. She gets a bath every 7-10 days depending on her. I shed more than she does so don't worry about that. This is also an awesome source of I information with great people.
