gargling
Mouthwash sound effect
Gargling is the act of holding liquid in the back of the throat and agitating it with exhaled air, usually for medicinal purposes: Gargling with salt water can soothe a sore throat.
The word imitates the bubbling sound produced.
Figuratively, a voice that gargles has a wet, throaty quality.
