Yeah its gross! It has to do with tobbaco/smoking and/or PHLEGM. I once asked when I saw a guy spitting (it was sooo disgusting too)WHy he had to do it in public and he was a smoker with allergies LOL. He said that he gets phlegm build up at the back of the throat and the noises that accompany the spitting process are the collection of the phlegm so it will spit well (ewwwww!!). Anyway, he attributed it to the combination of smoking/and phlegm. Arent you glad you asked lol :-)
