Why does your ac system sound like running water?

In: Car Sounds

[Edit]

Answer

Normally you would only hear that noise if your a/c is just coming on or has just been turned off. It is caused by the freeon in the condensor heating up and cooling off. That is NORMAL. However if it is always making that noise you may have something wrong with your a/c. Have it examined by a mechanic.
