Default Define Decel Popping

Hi all,

I was just wondering what true decel popping sounds like. Sometimes when I let off the throttle, I'll get a low, almost gurgling sound. When I hear people talk about popping on decel, I think of a loud, sharp backfire sound.

Just wanted to clarify in case I need to look for exhaust leaks. Thanks.
