It's not uncommon. I have read a thread or two regarding that very thing. I hear it in mine occasionally. It sounds like water behind the dash. I believe it has something to do with the heater core. I can't remember what I was searching for when I ran across the threads. But there is info on CL regarding what you're asking.

It could be a clogged heater core, but more often its caused by air bubble in the coolant system. Bleed your coolant system and fill it to spec, and it should go away.

Yep, for the OP, do a search for "low coolant".

It's more of a gravel sound
