Running water sound when stopping/moving

During braking and accelerating, I can hear a feint water moving sound under the dash(center console). Do you know what might cause this. This car was never flooded. I am guessing it has to do the a/c system, but don't know where to start. This is a 2007 Fit.

Thank you

It's your gasoline slushing around. Sounds like a stomach full of water right? It's normal.

If the sound is from the centre console, you are probably low on coolant. Check that first.

I was low on coolant once and heard a water-draining sound towards the front of the car IN ADDITION TO the sloshing of the gas underneath the front seats during braking and acceleration. The sounds were different.

had the same problem for a few weeks. Took it in to the dealership. They bleeded out the radiator and the problem went away.
