That's perfectly normal. It's coolant circulating through the hoses.

yup it is coolant running through your hoses. However if u can hear it, u need to put some in cause u are low. Mine made that noise and it was low put some in and no more noise. Check for small leaks too. Mine was leaking around the filler neck.

Flush your coolant system and top it off when you refill.

Hmmm, that's odd because my coolant is topped off, and the overflow tank is up to "full" and sometimes, I can still hear it in the morning. For those that has heard the water sound, was your heater on?
