Is there air trapped in your loop somewhere? No, its not normal to hear gargling sounds.

Ya, I think air would be the cause of that. Better look into it!

I don't know what a ww is, though. I just know that air would make that noise

All impingement style blocks will make a faint hissing noise, which will get louder if you use a stronger pump, but "gurgling" sounds very odd. Sure that the block isn't getting clogged up with lint or something else?
