    Yes, just yesterday. My coffee maker was gurgling and it stopped itself when it was done. :)

    It was me.  I've had a sore throat.

    Thanks.  I never get sick but I had a killer sore throat.  My nurse sister told me to gargle with warm salty water which helped the pain.  Then I read to gargle with peroxide.  I've never heard of that before but I did that too.  Broth soup and ice cream were heavily called for.

      Since I was very young, about six years old, my mother advocated the salty water remedy for sore throats. I like your endorsement of the ice cream method.

    The sink, when I pulled the plug after washing the dishes.  Stopped itself when it was empty.

    Not really "gurgling" (oh that is a lovely onomatopoea!) but definitely the sound of water rushing through a pipe. It would start suddenly, run for a few minutes and stop just as abruptly.

    Took me ages to trace it, and I did wonder if the mains feed from the street had a branch to my neighbour -  not unknown in 100-year old homes and in fact my first house was the middle of three served from a single stop-cock.


    Eventually, after clearing out the accumulated earth filling my neighbour's stop-cock chamber, I discovered the sound's source...

    ... My under-worktop freezer.

    It has a fairly wide vocabulary, and occasionally really does sound like water flowing in a pipe.

    A few years ago, not long after moving into my home now, I heard quiet but very odd, bubbly gurglings apparently from below my other neighbour's conservatory. She identified the sounds - a croaking frog.

    Outside drains filling with rain overflow. And no, nothing I could do to stop it.
