Gurgling sound effects for water with somewhere to go. Mostly downhill. Streams running over stones, drains swallowing the last of the bath, a toilet refilling, and bubbles rising through an aquarium. There's a darker kind too: zombies and cave creatures with something wet stuck in their throats. It's the same sound in very different scenes, and both get plenty of use.

A gurgle is air and water fighting over the same small space, which is why drains and narrow streams do it best. Pipes too. The stream recordings catch it where water squeezes between rocks, with gentler runs in Trickle, and the Bubble sets get in close on aquariums and jacuzzis, some of it recorded under the surface. Creature designers use the same idea in a throat. A wet gurgle under a growl makes a zombie sound drowned or diseased. Nature films and horror games both lean on it.
