The trilled "r" as a conversation filler?

A friend recently returned from Bogotá and said that during a soccer game, the announcer frequently filled pauses with a trilled "r". "¡Un gol! rrrrr ¡Magnífico! The sound did not appear to be connected to any word but was noticeable. Do any of you have any ideas ? Thanks again.

Antics of that annoucer, no intrinsic linguistic value.
