GURGLING Meaning and Definition

  1. Gurgling refers to the distinct, bubbling sound produced by liquids as they flow or move rapidly through confined spaces or make contact with obstructions. It is a verb that describes the action of liquid producing this particular noise. The term is often associated with the sounds made by liquid in a pipe or drain, but it can be applied to various other situations as well.

    The gurgling sound typically arises when air mixes with liquid or when the liquid is forced through narrow spaces. For example, when a liquid flows rapidly down a drain, the change in pressure causes air to be drawn in, resulting in the characteristic gurgling noise. Similarly, if a liquid is poured into a container with narrow openings, the liquid might generate gurgling sounds as it fills the space and encounters any obstacles in its path.

    Gurgling can also describe the noise made by liquid in the stomach or throat during digestion. In this context, it refers to the bubbling sounds produced due to the movement of digestive enzymes, gases, and stomach acids as they break down food. This usage of gurgling is often associated with feelings of hunger or an upset stomach.

    Overall, gurgling is a term used to depict the distinctive bubbling or energetic sounds created by rapidly moving or obstructed liquids, commonly observed in drains, pipes, containers or even the human digestive system.

  2. • Running or flowing with a broken noise.
    • A gushing or flowing with a broken noise.
