After doing a brake bleed, I'm hearing this "gurgling" noise when braking hard. Am I cooked?

Does it sound like it’s coming from your front wheel or the brakes themselves? 1st time hearing that, and I don’t think it sounds anywhere near a ‘good’ sound.
From what i can tell you at least need to try to re-bleed and make sure it’s done correctly. Gurgling indicates air bubbles.
Are you sure that’s not just the holes in your rotors? When I do a new bleed and pads, I notice my rotors make this sound (but it doesn’t sound this loud). But I bed the brakes by going to a hill near my house and go down it 4-5 times while grabbing the brakes, and eventually it disappears. Have you tried to do it yet?
Nutt brand brakes? How’s the power and lever feel? That noise comes from the pad passing over the holes drilled in the rotor.
This is a common issue i see with a lot of more budget friendly disc brakes, it has nothing to do with the brake bleed. It’s the pad gaining and then losing traction over the open parts on the brake disc and i have not found a solution for it yet. If anyone here knows then please comment it lol.
I’m gonna guess there’s some pad or rotor contamination after the bleed,
they sound contaminated
