gurgle
Water leaving bottle
Gurgle is the bubbling, throaty sound of liquid moving through a narrow passage—water draining, a brook flowing over stones, a baby's contented vocalization.
The word imitates the sound it describes: The drain gurgled.
The baby gurgled happily.
As a noun, it's an instance of that sound: the gurgle of the coffee pot.
