Any time you run hot/cold water a noise begins and continues for 5-7 minutes, sometimes longer.
The noise seems to be coming from the left sink. It does not matter which sink you use the noise will be there.
The noise is a.....bel-loop bel-loop bel-loop bel-loop
It sounds as if the water is tripping a flapper type valve.
I tried DRANO and a snake but nothing changed.
This started about 6-8 months ago after living here for 16 years
Thank you for any and all help

a sink will make a gurgling noise if it is not vented properly but i wouldn't think it would last for 5-7 minutes???
it could be a partial stoppage but if you snaked the drain then that lets that out???

Anyone that is dumping drano down the drain is using a 15' hand crank quarter inch snake and not actually cleaning the line.
