Learn English – verb describing “stomach’s singing”

word-request

What's the correct verb to describe the action of a hungry person's stomach making some noise?

For example:

I hadn't had breakfast and lunch, so this meeting was a huge embarrassment for me as my stomach was constantly _________________ to everyone's amusement, but I couldn't do anything about it.

Best Answer

The word/verb you are looking for is growl. Your stomach growls when you are hungry.

I hadn't had breakfast and lunch, so this meeting was a huge embarrassment for me as my stomach was constantly growling to everyone's amusement, but I couldn't do anything about it.

Added note: The question is concerned about a colloquial and everyday language; hence, growl is my choice. Rumbling is specific to the stomach's character and may be used in examining a person. Typically, on a lighter note, when you are hungry, stomach growling suits better.
