A vacuum is being created at some point after the two drainage pipes meet. This forces air back up the other pipe and through the "U"-bend underneath the sink, causing the water to gush upwards and drain again, making the gurgling sound.

Since both the bathroom and kitchen gray water supplies contain no sewage, this not harmful.
