What does it mean when you hear gurgling in your pipes?
Gurgling is caused when something is preventing water or air from flowing through your drains. As the water slowly travels through your drains, air bubbles begin to form and create a gurgling sound. Whether it’s your sink, toilet or shower, all can make that gurgling sound.
What does it mean when your toilet gurgles when you flush?
When a toilet gurgles, it indicates that negative air pressure (suction) is building up in the drain line, creating an airlock of sorts. Gurgling indicates abnormal suction building in the line. The negative air pressure will eventually release, pushing air backward through the drainpipe and into the toilet bowl.
Why is my fridge making bubbling noises?

Can a gurgling toilet fix itself?
Bad news/good news: If your toilet is gurgling due to a water main problem, there’s no way you can fix it yourself. However, it may be your town’s responsibility, not yours. The physics here are the same: There’s a blockage in the pipe. Negative pressure forces air to return through the channel from where it came.
