Is loud groaning while concentrating or tired normal in a 10-month-old?

My 10 month old started making a groaning sound when concentrating when playing at 7 months. He’s still doing it but it’s much louder and more frequent. Some examples include:
-Playing with toys like moving a bead on an abacus
-Flipping book pages
-Playing with anything tbh could be buttons on my top
-Tired
-Picking up food

i know stimming is developmentally normal but because it’s high frequency and so loud, I’m wondering whether to be concerned and if I need to flag it?

Anyone else experience this?

Yes, my DD used to do it. In church once, the vicar thought someone had brought a dog in to the service. She did grow out of it.

The vicar did too when he found out it was DD.

No, it’s become more constant

My now three year old did this when younger, in similar circumstances, when concentrating and using fine motor skills. He grew out of it, I can’t remember what age. I had begun to be a bit concerned about it - none of my other three had ever done it - but we all remember his concentrating noise fondly now and quite often watch videos of him doing it!

My 6 month old was doing this! She seems to have peaked with it. There was about a 10 day period that it was CONSTANT and I nearly lost my mind.
