Is it normal for my waterbed to make gurgling sounds?

Yes, it is completely normal for a waterbed to make gurgling sounds. These sounds typically occur when air bubbles get trapped in the water chamber or when the waterbed is adjusting to changes in temperature. The gurgling noise may also be more noticeable during the initial setup or after moving the bed. To minimize these sounds, it is important to ensure that the waterbed is properly filled and the air is properly expelled. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for filling and burping the bed, allowing any trapped air to escape. Regular maintenance, such as adding a waterbed conditioner, can also help reduce gurgling sounds and keep the waterbed in optimal condition.
