*edit - watch the spout area, and another event around 35-36 seconds
And there's no chance this sound is the water draining through the chahai?

nope!..........

all yixing wares have dual porosity, its a characteristic of yixing, but it doesnt mean that all porous stuffs are yixing though. depending on the maker and the way the clay is processed, the porosity will differ but there is definitely air in the structure of the clay. without air in the structure of the clay, yixing clay loses one of its main characteristics
