Today, I googled, and could find the terms, like dip and plop.
Is there any word when we pour water into the glass, and we hear the sound produced within a bottle?
As I poured myself a drink, I listened to the water ______ into my empty glass.

Just FYI, neither "dip" nor "plop" describes that.

Iqbal, why don't you REMOVE the reference to the glass, since you very explicitly DONT WANT the sound of it hitting the glass?

FWIW all the answers refer to the kind of noise produced when the water comes out alternately with air going in to replace it, which is not what your image depicts. (AFAIK there is no word for the sound of a smooth pour like in the image, probably because it's so quiet you just hear the water landing in the glass.)

The word dip is not onomatopoeic, it describes the action of immersing, or lowering something in liquid. You dip (or dunk) a biscuit in a cup of tea, for example. You dip your toes in the sea if you're afraid it is too cold. The water from a receptacle (bottle, can, basin, etc.) does not dip, it "pours" or "flows".

You can try glug.

Isn't it that the glug is a sound produced within our throat amid during water.

That is the sound of a liquid passing through a narrow opening, whether it be glass, plastic, ceramic, or flesh. Note that this particular definition says "... being poured from a bottle or swallowed." It can go either way, which means it works in either context.

Onomatopoeia is the formation of words that mimic sounds that occur in the world, such as buzz for the sound a bee or fly makes, or splat for the sound of a wet item smacking on a hard surface (smack itself is probably onomatopoeic as well).

There was a cartoon with Daffy Duck where at some point he has to pretend he's a champagne bottle, and the waiter 'pours' Daffy, and for Daffy to sound realistically like liquid pouring out of a bottle he says "skoykill, skoykill, skoykill", pronounced like that other river through Philadelphia, the Schuykill.

If I were to write my own definition I would say Gurgle is "the sound produced by the water running into other water, or bouncing off the sides of an open vessel." Whereas, I would define Glug as "the sound produced when an air bubble enters the mouth of the bottle that is being emptied of a liquid."

Slosh - softer than splash, and also very applicable to drinks.

Can you cite some examples of this usage from books, articles, etc.?
– Jay Elston
Aug 21 at 15:49
@JayElston For usage, you can try 'heard sloshing into glass' or similar in Google Books. Liquid is frequently heard sloshing out of, into and in containers. Sometimes it's just sloshing, without being heard, as it can also be felt or seen doing that.

I know I could do that. So could anyone else. But citing references gets upvotes -- set this answer for an example.

I personally would probably use the word cascade.
Verb 1. (of water) pour downward rapidly and in large quantities.
Usage examples::
a."water was cascading down the stairs"
"rain cascaded from the roof"
synonyms: pour, gush, surge, spill, stream, flow, issue, spurt.

Slosh - softer than splash, and also very applicable to drinks.

Can you cite some examples of this usage from books, articles, etc.?

@JayElston For usage, you can try 'heard sloshing into glass' or similar in Google Books. Liquid is frequently heard sloshing out of, into and in containers. Sometimes it's just sloshing, without being heard, as it can also be felt or seen doing that.

I know I could do that. So could anyone else. But citing references gets upvotes -- set this answer for an example.

I personally would probably use the word cascade.
Verb 1. (of water) pour downward rapidly and in large quantities.
Usage examples::
a."water was cascading down the stairs"
"rain cascaded from the roof"
synonyms: pour, gush, surge, spill, stream, flow, issue, spurt.

Thank you for your interest in this question.
Because it has attracted low-quality or spam answers that had to be removed, posting an answer now requires 10 reputation on this site (the association bonus does not count).
Would you like to answer one of these unanswered questions instead?

Just FYI, neither "dip" nor "plop" describes that.

Iqbal, why don't you REMOVE the reference to the glass, since you very explicitly DONT WANT the sound of it hitting the glass?

FWIW all the answers refer to the kind of noise produced when the water comes out alternately with air going in to replace it, which is not what your image depicts. (AFAIK there is no word for the sound of a smooth pour like in the image, probably because it's so quiet you just hear the water landing in the glass.)

@MissMonicaE, I thought that someone would say the same as you said here. I will change the image, after being online through my PC.

The word dip is not onomatopoeic, it describes the action of immersing, or lowering something in liquid. You dip (or dunk) a biscuit in a cup of tea, for example. You dip your toes in the sea if you're afraid it is too cold. The water from a receptacle (bottle, can, basin, etc.) does not dip, it "pours" or "flows".
