Good evening
First and foremost cut some slack for baby, no need to monitor so vigilantly urine output it's good to keep an eye on it but since babies won't pass stools for 5-6 days too.
Most common cause of sound you heard is aerophagia means swallowing of air while suckling for breast milk ensure good latching of baby at best and burp him properly twice or thrice.
Next Steps
if any distension or if baby doesn't even pass faltus , doesn't feed,then it's time u reach help of pediatrician near by
