Why is my sink making a loud noise?
An air noise coming from your sink may indicate that it is clogged. A clogged sink will make a sucking sound or bubbling sounds as it drains. If your drain suddenly starts making odd sucking noises or gurgles loudly, and just that particular drain is slow, there is a clog or partial clog inside your drain trap.
