If the gurgling noise is while draining and not from the faucet...
Check the "Pea" trap loacted under the sink, It is usually chrome or white PVC (Plastic) and can be removed and cleaned by loosening the two large nuts on each end of the pipe.
Becareful when removing the pipe it HOLDS a small amount of water which normally smells very bad!
After making sure the Pea trap is clean and put back on, Pour some bleach down the drain to clean out the bacteria on the inside of the pipe.
You may also want to follow that up with a "Drain Cleaner" such as liquid plumber or like brand (Becarefull with these chemicals they are strong smelling and can burn you) Follow all directions.
If this does not solve your problem then it will probably require a plumber to clean the connecting lines or vents. Either of which being restricted or partially stopped up can cause this sound.
Hope this helps!

Do you live in an apartment? An older one?
If so, it's probably just the people upstairs. Happens where I live too. All the plumbing is connected, so when someone upstairs blasts the faucet, mine gurgles loudly as the water passes my pipe.
Freaky at first, but then you get used to it.

gurgling is a sign of improper venting. Does your toilet not flush sometimes. Does the tub drain slow. Then it is the main vent pipe that is clogged. If it is only the sink, then try some Drano in it.

uncertain what davek's "prefessional expereince" is besides the undeniable fact that it does not sound like its plumbing ! except there is something else incorrect you haven't any longer advised us approximately, there could be no could re-course any pipes. greater healthful an air admittance valve. the least puzzling thank you to try this on an exsisting gadget is to greater healthful a clean catch below the sink with a geared up in air admitance valve. oftentimes spoke of as gurgle valves, for evident reasons. ask in a actual plumbers shop ( no longer bandq) approximately £5 and 0.5 an hours artwork for a 40 two mm one to circulate onto an existng pipe with a T piece, or £10 for the completed U tube and valve. ask for an "air admitance u catch". don't get them perplexed with soil pipe air admitance valves that are to do with water sucking out of traps once you flush the john. those are 110mm diameter and too large to your difficulty. those large soil vents are regularly spoke of as durgo valves, this si the 1st manufacture - there are a number of types now.

Your "P" trap is clogged.
Get a bucket, or dish pan.
Remove the two collars holding the "P" trap on.
Gently giggle and pull it off the drain pipe.
Clean it .
Put a little vaseline on the seals, and put it back together.
By the way, snug and a little....not tight.

Its probably a hair clog in the trap. You can fix it with a store bought drain cleaner.
