Why do I hear fluid when I accelerate?
Answer: Sloshing is almost always caused by air in the cooling system, which allows the coolant to drain out of the heater core inside the dashboard when the engine is off. When you start the car, the water pump sends a surge of coolant into the heater core and you hear the sloshing.
Why do I hear liquid in my car?
The most common cause is a clogged drain trapping water in the heating and cooling system. The water, formed by condensation, usually empties onto the ground. But a clogged drain can cause it to back up, leading to the sloshing sound and even dampness on the passenger-side floor.
Is it normal to make noise when accelerating?
There are noises that are normal on acceleration. The best way to know if the noise is normal is simply if you have heard the noise before. You have probably driven, or at least ridden in cars for years.
Why is differential noise most common on acceleration?
People talk about differential noise on acceleration because it’s the most common area where noise occurs from on acceleration. Reason is that the load on the gears makes it harder for the teeth to slide across each. This also increases load on the carrier bearings making them prone to failure also (and they too get really noisy).
Why does my car make a rattling noise when I accelerate?
It will be a faint sound when the car is idling in ‘park’ mode, but the volume and frequency will increase in proportion to acceleration. It could indicate the last stage of the converter’s life. If this happens, you should take the vehicle to a repair shop as soon as possible.
What causes a howling sound in the rear differential?
Broken teeth on the axle gear can result in complete loss of power when turning in any direction and eventually reaching a point where the gears don’t engage at all anymore, bringing the car to a complete standstill. There are various situations which can create rear differential noise. For example, howling of gears is a sure sign of wearing.

Why does my car make a whining noise when accelerating?
With regular use of a car, various issues can arise and car making whining noise when accelerating is one of them. It is always wise to check for internal errors as early as possible when you hear an unexpected whining noise from the engine because it can be an indicator of a serious car issue.
Why does my car make a sloshing sound when I accelerate?
@JimFell I think you’re associating the increased prominence of the sound with the wrong trigger. As you said, under normal circumstances, your car is accelerating when the engine is running faster. When there is water in a container, and that container experiences acceleration, inertia will cause the water to move around within the container.
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).
