 Growling?

Goldies make a solid peep sound, usually. Like a baby bird. They do this for two reasons. One, they are content (this obviously wouldn’t be it, since you said he doesn’t like you going in there.) The other coincides with breeding. Goldies breed in the later summer, early fall. The males will peep to call out to females. It could have been coincidence that the goldie peeped while you were reaching in.

I have heard all sorts of noises from cousin species (such as the marbled and tokay). An angry sound does indeed sound like a growl. rrrrrr.... Like if you run your finger slowly down a zipper. Some will even scream - which is much more urgent and upset than a peep. Sadly, I have not heard any of these additional sounds from my goldie, so I can’t conclusively say that golden geckos make the same sounds.
