Odd noises coming from my 6 week old pullets & 9 week old cockerel?

That is definitely the "shut up and go to sleep" sound It's the sound I miss the most from the days when I had my brooder in the house next to my bedroom. I loved sitting next to it before going to bed and listening to the chicks put each other to sleep with this sound. They tend to do it whenever one of them is disturbing the others' sleep - when they're all huddled and comfy but somebody is getting up, shifting position, chirping, stepping on others etc. - the rest make this sound to get the culprit to sit its butt down and go to sleep already That's why I call it the "shut up and go to sleep" sound. If all of them are down and quiet, they don't make this sound. In this case here, some of the chicks are still walking around, so the rest probably want them to lay down and stop messing up their afternoon nap.

Awww! Their brooder is in the bathroom right beside our bedroom, our bed is up against the wall separating us basically, I’ve never heard them make that noise before. I’m sure I’ll hear a bunch more odd-to-me noises as time goes on.

I think you'll find the snuggling noise is more drawn out single notes repeated that go from a lower to a higher pitch, more like long peeps. Whereas the danger noise is rapid succession of notes that that go from lower to higher, and then more higher ones. It's the same as when a broody hen sees you hand coming! It's what roosters do to warn the flock of what they see too.

... Yes I use to watch chicken for hours...

Good to know. They’re so smart & attentive. my husband & I can sit for hours watching them too. It’s better than watching tv.

It’s a low sound, maybe it doesn’t carry through the wall. I would literally sit in front of the brooder in the dark and listen to it I find it very relaxing. The sound of comfort.
