    its the water from the heatercore passing into the cabin (right behind the headunit) if the'res air in the system it can cause this, try just filling up your radiator cap all the way, (when cold) turn the car on let it idle

    i got the same sound thats the only thing i can think of just air in the heatercore system

    Yeah, if you say there is dirt then give the radiator a flush, it will be beneficial in the long run.
