Had he just eaten something?  Sometimes my chins will do make a grinding sound after they eat a raisin.  I think it is them rubbing their teeth together to get the raisin off. I have sometimes heard it after a dust bath if they lick the dust or groom just after.

This is normal. They do this when they are content or after eating something. Sometimes when they are about to fall aslees they will do this in relaxation. Don't worry.

Yes I have always seen it as a sound of contentment. Usually when they are eating something they really like.Or like Jamie said stuck to their teeth.
I have used nutrical in the past and they always grinned teeth when eating it.They loved the stuff.  ;)

He's not squeaking in pain is he? Might be worth getting his teeth checked?
