Most of the noise coming from the lioness?

I notice when lions mate that it is the lioness that makes the most noise. Yes the male does make a deep growl when he grabs the lioness by the neck but the lioness makes a constant high pitched sound that sometimes sounds like a meow.

A good example starts at 41:38 in the Lion Brotherhood documentary. There Banda makes a deep growl and the lioness makes a lot of noise.

But why does the lioness make the most noise when lions mate. Is it like her way of saying "Ouch, stop doing that"?

No, it is not, because 10 min. after he has done the job, she will be there again and lays down in front of him, begging for more.
