I don't know what you could have done but it sounds like your vent is not clear. The gulps is air bubbling back. remove your S trap and try some rodding about 4-6 feet with an auger. S traps are now illegal but you get to keep yours, grandfathered.

Does the new sink have an overflow?

If you've installed a "S" trap then it's venting through the trap,(your gulp and bubble). Try installing a AAV,( Air Admittance Valve) just after the trap. Cut in a tee in the vertical drain coming out of the "S" trap and install a streel ell facing up. you my now instal a AAV on the street ell. This will vent the lavatory and relieve the suction that's stopping the flow. Good luck. Tom
