gurgling
Water's throaty sound
Gurgling is the sound of liquid moving irregularly through a narrow passage—water draining, a brook flowing over stones, a baby's throat producing bubbly noises.
The word imitates what it describes: The coffee maker gurgled to life.
A gurgling stomach signals hunger or digestion.
The baby gurgled happily in her crib.
