Why does my Chevy HHR make a sloshing sound?
One might think a sloshing sound in the vent area would be there all the time if they were plugged. Wind noise, engine noise, etc. can mask the sloshing noise. Not many questions here can be answered without a vehicle ID. Thanks for this. I’ll check the coolant levels. Also, forgot to mention it’s a 2007 Chevy HHR 2.4 LT.
Why do I hear liquid coming from my radiator?
The noise you hear is the coolant being pumped through the heater core when you start the engine. Make sure the radiator is completely full and that any air is bled from the system. Some vehicles have a special valve for this purpose. Need a part?Save money while supporting CarTalk.
Why do I hear liquid sloshing in my car?
Whenever I start my car and put it in gear, I hear the sound of liquid sloshing around as if there were a tub of water just behind the stereo. I can hear it for the first minute of driving (when I accelerate or decelorate) and then it goes away. The sound returns after the car’s been sitting for a while. What’s going on?

Why does my car make a sloshing sound when I Turn on the AC?
If you are really hearing a sloshing sound, then it is very likely water trapped in the AC evaporator drain pan. This would be because your AC drain tube is clogged. Find it and check it. You may check under the hood as I had a trough that the wiper mechanics resided in. The drain holes were blocked.
What makes a sloshing noise under the dash?
Sometimes when I start it up, begin moving forward, or quickly decelerate I can hear what sounds like water (or some other liquid) moving from one place to another (can’t quite tell where) under the dash or maybe just behind the firewall.
Why does my car make a running water sound?
I’ve recently noticed that when this “running water” sound occurs that it is more prominent when the engine is running faster (e.g. during acceleration).
