Reduced (hypoactive) bowel sounds include a reduction in the loudness, tone, or regularity of the sounds. They are a sign that intestinal activity has slowed. Hypoactive bowel sounds are normal during sleep. They also occur normally for a short time after the use of certain medicines and after abdominal surgery.
Most of the sounds you hear in your bowel are due to normal digestion, but abdominal sounds with accompanying symptoms may be due to a more serious underlying condition or the use of certain medications.
