Stomach noise — such as rumbling, gurgling and growling — typically is due to normal digestion. Stomach growling can occur when you’re hungry. But it can also occur after eating or between meals when food is passing through your intestines.
Hunger and appetite are controlled by a complex system of hormone-like substances primarily made by your digestive system. When you haven’t eaten for a while, these substances are released and cause a part of your brain called the hypothalamus to “switch on” your desire to eat. A message is then sent to your stomach and intestines. This triggers muscle contractions and the release of acids and other digestive fluids — which causes the rumbling, grumbling sounds you hear — as your body prepares for you to eat. The thought, sight or smell of food also can trigger this response from your intestines.
Sometimes excessive stomach noise can be a symptom of an underlying gastrointestinal disorder such as irritable bowel syndrome. But in such cases, stomach noise usually is accompanied by other signs and symptoms such as bloating, cramping, diarrhea or excess gas.

No, totally unrelated.
The ‘growling’ is just normal digestion.
You burn fat only if you exercise long enough to deplete the glucose that is in your blood. Fat burning only occurs after about 12-15 min. of exercise. Until then your body uses the glucose in your blood and converts it into energy.

Every second you’re burning fat even when you’re sleeping. So yes, if your stomach is growling you are burning fat.

Hmmmm actually it somewhat does. When your stomach growls, its contracting because it needs more than it has(meaning you didn’t eat enough) so your stomach gets smaller and ultimately in the end it makes you less hungry in the future so you eat less. So I guess in a way it does.
