    Air in the heater core normally makes this sound. Bleed the coolant system with heater turned on full can help.

    Yup, it's the heater core Nothing to worry about. If it's particularly loud, as 88GreenVN said, it means there's a bit of air in there. He pretty much covered it

    Yeah, it's nothing critical. My VP made that noise for two years, and my VQ makes it too

    I'd try to get the air out of the system - you can get an air lock in a cylinder head and do a gasket (I did).

    That depends. What year and model is your car, and does it have a radiator cap or a pressurised overflow tank?
