Good afternoon,

Can you upload a video so we can hear the noise? There are so many possibilities.

That's kind of hard because I have to drive the car in order for you to hear it.

Maybe you could have someone else drive the car while you take the video?

Does it do it only when driving?

Does it do it idling?

Can you give us more specifics?

Yes it only happens when I drive the car accelerating is only when the sound can be heard. I just changed out my thermostat and both radiator hoses yesterday.

Do you think it is coming from the cooling system? Can you hear it in the car like water going through the heater core?

It does sound like it is coming from the top drivers side near the thermostat.

But it could be coming from the heater core that's a big possibility.

When you shut it off, does the noise still happen for a minute?

Try removing the cap from the surge tank and see if there is air bubbling up in the surge tank.
