    I think the e mailer is right, could be the toilet trap. The noise can't come from the toilet so its coming from the next best thing, the drain pipe, ergo the sound from the basin.

    Your gurgle is due to your vent stack becoming clogged. With the vent clogged the shower drain is trying to vent to any other fixture, in this case the basin. Rod out the vent stack from the roof. Use enough 1/2" snake to rod roof to basement floor and about 15' more.
