It's just the coolant moving through. It's normal. Also, check the coolant level just to be safe. My coolant light would turn on when the car was first started, and then go away in a couple of minutes. I would also hear that noise. When I topped off with coolant, I don't hear the noise as much.

When your car is cool, open the radiator fill tank, pressurized air will come out. Ensure that the coolant level is sufficient. Close the tank. Turn on the car and turn the heat on full hot with A/C on and the fan on max, let it run for a while (15 mins). Noise should go away.

Is this when the car is moving? I never noticed this before I took out my interior and all the sound dampening material but I can hear the gas sloshing around in the tank sometimes... nothing out of the ordinary though.
