Thats trapped air being forced up thru the trap at the kitchen sink. Could be a partial clog, full septic, or a low spot in the piping. You will need the access the piping to see exactly whats going on.

Your septic tank is ALWAYS "full". The problem occurs when it is overfull and is backing up into the drain line. This can also occur if you have had a lot of rain, in which case pumping it would not help. Your sink must have an air admittance valve, or no vent, otherwise it could not develop the pressure tom make it "glug".
