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 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 is there so much water in my dash?
This is due to the humidity collecting on the evaporator in your HVAC system. It’s the same thing that happens to a glass of ice water when you let it sit out. The AC drain is there to help remove this moisture. If it becomes clogged due to debris, it can allow the water to collect in your dash.
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 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).

Why do I hear water sloshing in my car?
The first section to look at when you hear water sloshing from your car is the passenger side. This is where the AC drain lines are located. The sound may become louder as you accelerate or decelerate the vehicle. The sound comes typically about when it’s raining or after rain.

Check out McP’s suggestion first and if that isn’t the fault, check to make sure the fresh air vent water drains (below the windshield) are clear. Check the cabin filter (s) as well (if equipped). One might think a sloshing sound in the vent area would be there all the time if they were plugged.
What makes a sloshing sound in the dash?
Could be noises from the evaporator that are normal but if water is present inside the car it is not. Make sure nothing is leaking/pooling under the passenger side dash.

Can you still hear the rushing water in the dash?
Not as bad as before but i can hear it, then when i start turning out of the driveway and such i can still hear the swooshing around. The service manager said the next step if i wanted to bring it back would be a dump of the fluid, pressurize the system and refill. So looks like i will be going down that road very soon.
