Hello,

If there are no other symptoms apart from bubbly sound when you press this region , then this is absolutely normal.

There is a duct called naso-lacrimal duct in this region which drain secretions from eye to nose.Sometimes air or collections get stuck in the duct causing you such bubbly sounds.Mild messaging in this region will relieve this.Air generally enters the duct if one blows air out with mouth and nose closed.

This should not be cause of concern.Hope this helps.

Regards.
