Chattering means pain or anger or stress. Pigs will chatter at each other while they are asserting dominance. You pig may be ill, especially since he is so old. Justified and acanoffleas gave you good info above as well.

Chattering shows anger or a warning to keep away. Don't touch a guinea pig when its teeth are chattering.

If it's true chattering, it could be that he is warning your friends to stay away. He could also be just trying to get his teeth down if you don't have enough chew toys for him to chew on. You should give him timothy hay, and make sure he has it 24/7.
