When water is forced down the drain and the vent for that drain is blocked, air will be pulled from inside the building through another plumbing fixture causing the gurgling sound. The main drain line may also be partially blocked whereas when water is forced down the drain the air in the drain line may be forced back into the building through another plumbing fixture causing the gurgling sound.
